Haiku

too little, too few
short, blunt, minimal wording
understood askew

Nice write about the form. Except one hiaku so called expert told me no rhyming. Is she wrong. She also told me no hints in the tittle. This code is easy to break . Thats what makes it a good read. Do not worry I like it. Maybe you can correct. What I have been told. After you did win in that one contest. With your ---Murder- Haiku. The one about death flight in wings. Or something like that. I did not get no s.m. from you yet.

Some people can use the haiku form to convey an image, but rarely do we find one that makes a statement. Great observation; the form is confining for many of us. Love, Carolyn
