I like their rock gardens and the architecture in which they use no nails and let the joinery show as a part of the beauty. I also love their music and physical movement. I think things have become very debased--especially modern Japanese pottery, but their finest pots are still superb. They have, at their best a great respect for the inherent textures and qualities of things. They exploit those natural qualities to achieve their goals.

But . . . how is
any of that relevant to the Art of Haiku? Other than the season-words, what are the "natural qualities" of haiku?
No need to reply, Janet. If I'm not mistaken, the subject of this thread--started by Brother Joyous Hydrogen Bomb of Temperance--is "Three Minute Poetry: The Cinquain". Haven't you noticed that <u>he</u> is sorta layin' low? Chicken[** cough ** ]?!
