okay, it’s clear i have to learn to let go of my thinking on haiku. i like this. i like the connection between falling leaves and rising questions because of the oppositional movement in direction – and that it takes place in the mind by connecting to something that takes place in the concrete world around us. multiple connectioning. cool.

Yes, it’s interesting, I find that writing haiku for me is a process of letting go of my thinking, watching it drift away for a while, and then running frantically back after it and catching it before it gets away completely. 🙂
This is a powerful contrast… It hit me – just like these short poems are supposed to. Awesome.
