All right, so the previous days' post wasn't a true Haiku. It didn't have any references to nature, didn't impart any hidden truth, and wasn't in Japanese. It did however stay true to the 5 - 7 - 5 syllable count which although an arbitrary confinement in the English language, does allow for a certain discipline of thought when writing. It is a type of poetry that has value in focusing the mind.
I should try to do more.
Oh, the horror!
