Jane Reichhold on Haiku.

In learning how to read it you have to learn how to build these images.
You are not going to teach anybody anything in Haiku. You are going to show them.

Just need to do it, do it and do it and enjoy it. Enjoying words. Playing around with words, and see what they can do for you.

Your life will change. Because it demands a change in the way you act and live and think.
Connect with the world outside. Things will call out to you. The rolling surf. And the cloud above.


Brief, present tense. Use common words.

The words can sound and be extremely simple. But they can hold vast reservoirs of meaning in their layers.
