There’s a famous quote that says: “Brevity is the soul of wit.”
That means that some things can be better said briefly. Haiku is a kind of poem that is short, and says it all in 9 syllables. It’s the shortest kind of poetry, and, in instances, for its power in brevity, the best kind. It says what a longer poem attempts to say.
So why does it get it get it’s own page?
I thought about just posting my haiku, but then I realized that haiku cannot JUST be posted. It’s special. It needs attention. But, also, haikus rarely are entitled. Therefore, I’m putting all of my haiku on one page where it can bask in proper glory.
