"I should start off this essay with what comes as near as any to defining what a haiku is for me.
"Haiku is a poetic art of making connections between words and images in response to the apparent coincidence of internal and external phenomena, however disparate they may appear, and thereby celebrating wonder in that which exists, in as few words as possible, so as not to lose the immediacy of the perceived connection."
