Haiku

Have you discovered Haiku Nurse's daily haiku yet? Examples:

12/03/2007
why do I do this
every day laboring
over a few words

11/13/2007
women when they talk
pause to emphasize deep thought
hoping to appeal

11/04/2007
they say books are dead
let me be buried
my eyes see by reflection

10/29/2007
he says he can't think
without the radio on
silence distracts him

I really like that last one. I was watching an interview with Norman Mailer not so long ago and he was talking about how Television teaches us to be distracted; to expect and desire interruption. I think, in a way, that is what that last poem speaks of. The distraction of silence focusing our mind on the want of interruption.
