I hate this

[tectak]

Tectak,

For one who doesn't engage in this form your response is quite the eye-opener. I'm not one to dabble in the haiku form either but the sudden burst of poems in this section prompted me to give it a try. For one who doesn't engage in this form you said what I was trying to say, quite easily too! Looks like I'm going to have to take a step back, and continue studying other works.. Thanks!

lt ain't that haiku is hard...it is just like any discipline...easy to do badly but harder to do well. Thing is, there's no satisfaction in easy.
Best,

PS. Do try writing more haiku. Though many ignore the 575 in favour of nothing at all, sticking to it does help the writer to be compact. Padding never wins over precision.
