Should Haiku Be Cute or Funny?
I've been reading a lot of what is called "modern" haiku lately. And I have to say that much of it fails to move me. Not that I intend to cry or sob over 3 lines of poetry, but for some reason, many new haiku poets just don't have or understand the haiku sensibility.
To me, haiku is about the beauty of nature and this beauty's impermanance. Personally, this is the kind of haiku I'd like to see more of. Your thoughts?

Ed,
I'm curious to know, specifically, which journals and authors you've read. Your 'haiku sensiblity' requires definition, or else you've not read deeply enough.
