I have never been tempted to write a Haiku...although I can understand thee appeal in doing so. This might sound silly to mention but I truly believe that a persons geographical location might well have a direct bearing on this; the Haiku, being of Japanese orientation, stems from a nation that lives in a heavily forested and mountainous country...this would lend to ones self feelings of isolation and an intimate connection with nature - perfect for the spreading Canadian wilderness! :) john

I too believe that where we are born has an impact on our psyche. Haiku were originally based in nature. Try some just for fun there is a lot, where you are, that would. For example the visage of history: grey aged crumbling stone/ housed holy monks in rising song/ now only birds sing

Thank you Peter. I find that each seasons wind has its own voice.
