! ! Haiku For The Over-Zealous - Possibly Himself Poem by Michael Shepherd

A different beat, but it ain't haiku, Michael! Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry which states in 3 lines of 5,7 & 5 syllables a clear picture (!) designed to arouse a distinct emotion & suggest a distinct spiritual insight.

Example of modern haiku - In green water the little green fish- only his shadow betrays him.
