I really enjoyed this essay as it brings haiku into modern times and represents freedom from the old strict 5-7-5 syllable in english days. My suggestion to current writers is review, review, review! Eliminate any superfluous words, Pare down to the kernel of your intention. Don’t forget to try different line arrangements to help with the ‘aha’ moments. to write haiku, become haiku in your outlook on everything. Make haiku your record of lived experience, your diary in effect. Remember the power of haibun, study the masters, specially Basho, to see how they painted word pictures so beautifully finished with haiku. Haiku poetry is so much a part of my life that I can never forget it. It illuminates my vision and creates hope for a World so in need of healing.

Some of your tips helped my Students to produce more content than Students in my Class last year in the same Unit of Poetry and for World Poetry Day.

Thanks too for your technical support on the Writer’s.Com Courses I’ve taken.
