You’ve got amazing technical and social media knowledge AND you write poetry? Wow! I love the simplicity of the haiku as well. It’s really much harder than most people think to write a meaningful haiku. The one you wrote here is wonderful, conjuring up images of a snowy land — almost like a sleeping giant, breathing out as he dreams of a warmer day.
One thing I really like is the visceral nature of poetry. If it fails to evoke tactile imagery for me then I have trouble reading it. Since reading ‘From Where You Dream’ I have always tried to incorporate such tangible elements in my fictional and poetic works. I wrote the Haiku on assignment from Yahoo. You can see the original here -> http://bit.ly/syXGFZ. Someday I will compile all of my work into an ebook.
