Lee,
I'll add my own thanks, again.
Sorry I didn't respond sooner to your excellent answers in the other thread. I do think that a conscientious writer will devise better haiku--not the constructed/manufactured type. I suppose that's true of most kinds of poetry. You also gave me a clue into the writing of interrelating sequences of haiku: the "linking."
Personally, I'd like to see a Haiku forum on Eratosphere someday, or a Haiku/Tanka/Senryu/Zappai forum, not least because the aesthetic and technical requirements of these forms significantly differentiate them from western metrical verse and the open forms of much non-metered poetry. Maybe in that distant time you'd consider dropping by occasionally?
