    This is brilliant. I like the idea of haikuhabits. I have been reading up on them over at http://www.haiku.com/Haiku and i hope i can create and publish haiku poems as well.

    Gautami and Borut – Yes, old and worn lungs. Do you think the poem works?

    Gabby – Thanks for the visit and generous comment. There are some haiku sites listed on our Haiku on the Web page that you may wish to browse.

    I think it works incredibly well. Immediate, visceral.
