Lee—
Haiku strike me as being easy to write but damnably hard to write well. I wonder why this is. I am sure it is something to do with the general difficulty of writing small poems: the smaller the harder. But there is something else to haiku. Perhaps what I am asking in a round about way is, what makes haiku haiku? Certainly the form is only a beginning.
Anyhow, here is one I wrote for the class. (I'm not the most prolific.)
coffin descending
through a hole in the hoar grass—
how bright the rowan berries!
