the human heart

By Wade Kwon

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

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.
