There probably are a few genuine haiku scattered through various Jackdaw's threads, but I don't believe I've ever specifically posted a haiku thread. That's something I should consider for the future, of course. And in any event, Jackdaw's has received an amazing number of hits as a result of these postings, so I can't and won't complain.

It was *my* assumption that they were intended as haiku. I didn't know Jackdaw's Nest previously (nice to meet you), and followed along with a "Haiku Foundation" mindset. I thought it was a fat, winged, queen ant up on the surface. It was odd that it had no ant taste and seemed invisibly tethered to some long stick held by a shadow. My jaw hurts. I'll go and taste the river a while. midstream boulder rising bubbles follow the foam - Paul (MacNeil) My apologies Hedgie and Scott. It was *my* assumption that they were intended as haiku.

I thought it would be interesting for <em>troutswirl</em> readers to take a look at them and see in what ways they relate to haiku, or where they might overlap with haiku methodologies, or not—and how they, and other short poems in general, might enrich haiku, and vice versa. For the most part, it seems to me, the titles are simply a reference to their source. Yes, the titles don't really add anything to the poems themselves (less 4th lines than having to title something for the sake of titling something). "Last Variation" is, however, I think, a title that adds a little depth to its poem/ku. I didn’t identify them as haiku either, but simply as 12 3-line poems, as they were entitled on TJN.
