Concrete Haiku With Fractals Poem by Paul Hartal

The Japanese verse form Haiku is structured in seventeen syllables—first line has five syllables, second line has 7 syllables and third line has 5 syllables. This experimental Haiku here departs from tradition and arises as a concrete poem in which the typographical elements and sound convey meaning. The letters in the verse also represent fractals, mathematical sets of repeating self-similar patterns in expanding symmetry.
