the human heart
It beats coldly in
a sheltered place, only to
warm with openness.

As I sit here in my darkened house waiting for the power to come back on, I realize that it ain’t so bad. I haven’t written in a while, and I can put Superphone to the test.

You know, these are not traditional haiku, but I like them a lot. English speakers often just fold a 17-syllable sentence into three lines and call it a haiku. It’s a pet peeve of mine. It’s also essentially what you’re doing — but somehow it works most of the time. Each line is its own element, or something. It’s not strict haiku, but it’s good writing.

Thanks!
It’s not even close to traditional haiku, since I don’t always include nature images.
