"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for."

Spring's Haiku
In autumn she falls Through ice-clad winters she sleeps But I hold Summer
I don't get Haiku. It seems so abrupt. You should do a post on it. Your summaries always help me SO much!
But this helped as well. A Facebook post from my friend Opal Palmer Adisa (you should connect with her - very wise, positive, creative woman)... "A haiku is about capturing a slice of life in the moment. Today I paused at the Poui blossoms, brilliant, sun-filled yellow, at the base of the tree, and the branches bursting lights, startling, capturing my heart. What a gift! Pause to acknowledge and bask in those unexpected slices of life, free gifts to massage our hearts"
