Haiku

Capture the moment; capture the intensity of a specific moment, not a general time.

Focus on the concrete, real world, not the abstract realm of inner thoughts and feelings.

Traditionally involve nature and suggest a season. World view is one in which nature and the observer are one, not separate.
