Hugs Surrounded by warmth Consoling, comforting, love Touching skin and soul This is probably considered to be Senryu in a Haiku format and in that format, shouldn't be titled but I title all my Haiku. One of the liberties we Westerner's take when striving to emulate that beautiful Japanese art form. ·······  ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy Kindness is a seed sown by the gentlest hand, growing care's flowers. Larry D. Jennings MM Award Winner       |

Hi Leo
I hope you have had chance to read some of the links (I have to admit there is so much to read that I haven't had time to read all) I think it's not a matter of tradition versus modern in the haiku form (well, I think all traditional crafts are better made than most modern) but more a translation of syllables, when English syllables don't match up to Japanese -- but then I'm sure you'll have read that in the links by now. Happy learning & I look froward to your writing Snow
