i never got upset about what you said. i simply sought reasoning behind your statements because i felt that good reasoning would inspire me. it did. it offered me a new perspective and i appreciate that.
i’m really not incredibly serious about writing haikus. i mean, when i want to make a statement or freeze a moment (making a statement is freezing a moment from my eyes), i enjoy the slight challenge of having to adhere to using a specific number of lines and syllables; but really, i prefer writing poetry and prose because i can paint a picture or discuss something. and my love of writing poetry and prose–and seeking understanding through written word exchanged with others–really has been intrigued by your posts here about haiku. thanks, gok.
