¬---------------------------------------¬

Like many of my favorite things, I came upon this project when two interesting ideas crashed together.

First, of course, was the haiku.

Despite paying them little attention, I have always had a quiet admiration of the haiku. Perhaps this is because I admire short fiction, and the haiku is, by definition, about as short as you can get. Well-done haiku feel so ephemeral. Almost magical. Its simple 5-7-5 beat structure can feel barren at times, and, in fact, when in cavalier hands, that barren nature can come off as too slight. In other hands, though, the aura of a haiku leaves one wanting to dwell in the essence of the images it creates.
