in defence of haiku

I like the smallness of it. I like the structure- it feels right in my mouth. I like the way it both celebrates the smallness of its subjects and elevates them into a subject worthy of poetry. Like every other art form, it can be good and it can be bad. But there is something stark and beautiful about haiku, something humble and yet assertive of its own right to be, that appeals to me.
