I'm all for the distinction Grumman seems to be making. I have a haiku
essay of my own, it's been in the works for almost two years but my
interest in haiku waned slightly so it's been neglected for a long
while. but I've long had a distaste for modern haiku, and the fashion
in which 'haiku' are masqueraded around in junior highschool textbooks
& such. the pop culture understanding of the word haiku is what it is,
and it's a fine linguistic entity in itself; but it almost always
fails to be separated from the artform, & that kills me. a bit.
