At March 30, 2009 3:57 PM, david giacalone said...: You're very welcome, Dalloway. I'm a bit shy about giving advice to individuals or about particular haiku. My "Tell-ems/Psyku Essay" -- http://tinyurl.com/fkaPsyku -- sums up a lot of my feelings about what makes a good haiku.

And, I will say it yet again: I've never seen a haiku that was improved by being a one-liner rather than a three-liner. All one-liners do is (1) confuse a lot of people about what a haiku is; (2) suggest that haiku really are just bumper sticker verse"; and (3) give a sad cry for attention.
