Steve, I really like the haiku in this essay -

Thoughts on Juxtaposition by Carmen Sterba
• A clear, nonacademic exploration of the importance of "juxtaposition" as the central technique of haiku poetry, with illustrative examples. Good read.

- but I gotta tell ya, they seem like a whole different species from the other haiku I've read. I thought you weren't supposed to use words like "love" and "gift" - aren't those "explaining" words?

Mary (certain now that I don't have a clue how to do haiku)
