I think of haiku as a timeless moment in a moment in time. When I discovered the form 50 years ago I knew instinctively that this was how I could express what I saw and felt. Attempts at writing other forms of poetry were a failure. They were rambling, too wordy. Haiku forced me to be exact, precise and short. I needed and welcomed the discipline of haiku. Over the years I have expanded to other Japanese poetic forms as well as fiction, but haiku pulls me back again and again.
