I love haiku! I feel very self conscious when I write free-form poetry, like I can't say anything that hasn't been said better, or less tritely. But Haiku imposes a structure, and I can force my thoughts to follow those syllables and be happy with the outcome.

Great haiku, Pris. Now you have the epitaph on your memorial stone (not for another 100 years, of course):
'She Always Kept the Soles of her Shoes Clean'

Think about joining Haiku Hut. It's a great board for all sorts of short forms!
Thanks for commenting.
