Perhaps this is because I admire short fiction, and the haiku is, by definition, about as short as you can get. Well-done haiku feel so ephemeral. Almost magical. Its simple 5-7-5 beat structure can feel barren at times, and, in fact, when in cavalier hands, that barren nature can come off as too slight. In other hands, though, the aura of a haiku leaves one wanting to dwell in the essence of the images it creates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere's a magical balance in a haiku that may not exist in other forms of poetry, or at least not in quite the same way. I always find them interesting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYet, despite this framework, I rarely wrote any.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe second idea was artificial intelligence and its generation of art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRon Collins, Introduction\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 216\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.56 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 28, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42123873157255,"sku":"9781946176431","price":53.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/f80391d08e602078b33f8f35374afb76.webp?v=1732568580","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/five-seven-five-science-fictional-examinations-of-the-elusive-haiku-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
