The seeming simplicity of the Japanese haiku form of poetry - three lines of five, seven, five syllables - expresses depth of meaning and creates sensory impressions with no extraneous use of words. The brevity of the poem is like the lens of a camera visually capturing a single momemt in time. Kate W. Garland has written has written about traditional themes of nature, time, and season, but also taken license to use more modern themes of the cultural order in which she's lived. Therefore you will encounter such subjects as a train, a bus, a carousel, the human condition, and even some nonsense in the poetry she's written.
