A Handful of Haiku: What Is a Haiku

I
What is a haiku
A moment plucked from time's flow
Summed up in three lines

II
Writers of haiku
Prove that one doesn't need a 
Big pot to pith in

Thanks, G. I'd be happy if just all the members of PS would read it.

Thanks, Ilene, but most of the credit really belongs to the Japanese who came up with this "clever" poetic form many long years ago.
