  2. Liz, a haiku is a poem that is carefully packed--you leave behind everything that is totally unnecessary and will not fit. It can explode in that with its extreme brevity, it leaves itself open to multiple associations and interpretations.

  3. I like the idea of a poem being a careful package of uniquely chosen words.
