		There's nothing too small to build a poem from.  I love your metaphor here, though every time I read the second line I want to leave out the "in" -- it only changes the meaning slightly but it emphasises the sonics a little more.  Of course, that's possibly just in my head 
 
	
It could be worse

		Thank you both!
If I leave out 'in', I won't have enough syllables. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

hi aish, the 5,7,5, form is just a western idea and not adhering to it is allowed. one of the best references i've read concerning the form is;
as long as it can be read in a normal breath it's okay.
basho and others, when there haiku are translated often use less or more.
