did a new haiku....
(yes, I don't feel it is true haiku, since the piece is only complete in context of the photos...so maybe it is a haiku-ish poem, rather than a proper haiku)
based on a little photo series I did called "Birds At Dawn" (just posted the series over on my photos)

Poetic Prose Musing Haiku
Wed, October 10, 2007 - 6:10 AMwrote some poetic prose musings
Inspired by interacting with yet another crazed 15 year old online.
This kid reminded me a lot of governments, our government, other governments and, really, all institutions of power.
There is a schoolyard bully around and beating up the other kids.
Seeing that, our institution's decide to stop the bully and use force.
OK.
But the problem is not resolved.
The bully's father is beating him daily. That is the real cause.
And, it seems, no matter how many advanced degrees people have who run the large institutions of power, they still function through the simplest of paradigms, without the barest of reflection as to cause or effect.
Like a gang of Ph's reflecting on whether to punch the bully in the stomach or in the face, issuing 100 page + documents with the pros and cons of each "solution," while never for a second even entertaining the notion of another solution beyond punching, beyond violence, etc.
And not just so with big international global politics...but with all kinds of decisions. The boss choosing to be authoritarian and abusive to employees, even if kindness is not only more effective in achieving the short term business goals, but produces harmony, devotion to work, community spirit - all things, which, in the long run, drive business to true success.

don't sell it short!
Sat, August 2, 2008 - 10:54 AMThe piece stands well without the photo - or rather in place of the photo, which is simply a different way of attempting to capture the essence of the moment. (Which is why so many find pictures and haiku go together - they're both trying to distill the experience of a particular moment into a hyper-condensed expression of it.) I particularly note regarding this poem's image that many cultures (Irish and Hindu among them) contain myths that attribute the inspiration prompting the invention of the letter forms in their various alphabets to the observation of birds (in the cases cited, cranes) in flight. The universality of the image I think places it squarely within the realm of "true, proper" haiku - at least as much as can be accomplished in English with the absence of particular seasonal terms, etc. which additionally define the original form in Japanese. -
