how do you do
what you do?
This haiku sequence (actually senryū) is my response to
Day Twelve at napowrimo.net, where Maureen challenges us to
“write a poem that addresses itself or some aspect of its self.”
While some will insist that haiku must follow a 5-7-5 syllable count,
it also can be 3-5-3 or short-long-short.
This is a question I have asked, too. And I guess it is one of those things that has no answer, and yet you do sort of know it, but only obliquely.

Well put a good haiku paints a very vivid picture with economy of words.
