David, you did make yourself clear--i am the one that didn't. from what you said, it was clear that you were going to reexamine form when you revised. my remarks are aimed at the person who is not willing to reexamine commitment to any arbitrary form. i hope i have made my self clearer this time around!

Lee,
As the young folks say, "it's all good." For the record, I thought you were crystal clear, I just wanted make sure I was. I often post here under extreme time pressure, and I am never sure how well I have said a thing.
Anyway, I am thoroughly enjoying this master class, and perhaps for the first time beginning to
feel some things about haiku that I might have
known all along. I have certain intuitions, for example, about substituting feet in an iambic line or carrying an enjambment from a female ending to a headless iamb, etc. But I am only beginning (after years!) to develop the same sort of feel for haiku lines, and I feel like this thread is helping me get at some things.
So...onward.
David R.
