Let me begin with a recent haiku I wrote on twitter.

Mine do not always adhere to the traditional 5-7-5 syllable pattern for haiku. I lean towards the more contemporary style.

I’ve always appreciated the beauty in small things, be it in code or haiku. I enjoy writing haiku as they capture a moment in time or experience; their short expressive beauty is like a snow-globe of a thought. They are also easy to write and remember while road running, driving, or composing as a SMS while sitting in a café watching the world walk by.
