An attempt to reimagine the classical haiku for a postmodern world.

In 2012, limited by the character counts on social media sites like Twitter, Michael Anthony Adams, Jr. quickly tried adapting the forum to a playground for his own attempts to express himself via the classical 5-7-5 syllable count of Japanese verse.

Aware that the technological environment of social media removed the traditional conceits of nature from the haiku he was attempting to create, Michael attempted to adapt the formal structures and meditative techniques of a bygone era to a medium inherently contemporary. The question remains, however, is there ever a place for classical foundations in today's fractured world?
