Today's selection comes from a discussion of haiku rules and why it is important to use concrete images to create the haiku experience rather than resorting to imagination, abstractions, or judgements. The first selection is completely sarcastic in tone, but the next several are playfully meandering back to haiku-ness.

superior to what we observe in the real world.
torn shadow --
a woman's heart flutters
in the breeze
Haiku by free association. No concrete images need apply.

her high-heeled shoe crosses

se rendre --
the shadows of the night
caress her
