In Your Own Words: Eighteenth Post (Haiku)
The chapter on haiku was ok, but it took Cassedy too long to say that you don’t have to follow the rules. Most of her examples failed to follow the rules, even before she stated this was allowed. I’m also not sure that her first two examples made a good set of comparisons at all. Little Miss Muffet’s encounter with the spider is very little like the simple haiku story about the dragonfly!
