Pen to Paper: Haiku Silence

It’s been a while since I did a piece about haiku. Cletis was kind enough to ask for a handful of my poems to share at his blog, and that has me thinking about haiku again.

I intend to say very little, however, in keeping with the subject which Angelee Deodhar has so exactingly written about: how haiku conveys silence. The very idea of using words to describe silence seems paradoxical, and yet a well-written haiku can accomplish this deftly.

More, I need not say; on to Angelee’s essay.
