By happenstance, I have a few of my grandmother's haiku books lying around, and one in particular (James Hackett's "The Way of Haiku") did a really great job of giving suggestions for writing haiku in English.
His final note was very profound, and also my favorite:
"17. Remember that haiku is a finger pointing at the moon, and if the hand is bejeweled, we no longer see that to which it points..."
I hope to shake some of my laziness and start Haikomicing again in the next few days. Hopefully, my new living conditions will give me some inspiration..
