single-phrase prose poems
Koiku and Haiku

spotlight, but his singing heart heard the hearts in the
audience singing along.

began to bite him, and he was unable to fix anything
because he had forgotten how.

Haiku is a traditional form of
Japanese poetry that emphasizes brevity, nature, and
a moment of insight or emotion. The essence lies in
simplicity, and clarity. Haiku captures fleeting moments
with deep resonance.
