haiku in concrete

This is the third manuscript from Dr. Bruce Kingery.

"haiku in concrete" takes this concept of Japanese verse form and applies it to contemporary social, philosophical, moral, and metaphysical thought  and the problems of today.

Such subject matter as love, trees, flowers, the changing seasons, and man's better or perhaps, gentler virtues, have heretofore constituted the simple themes and essence of this splendid form of experience, expression and meanings.

The written word has no limitations as to length, content, context, and depth of meaning. But people do not speak in terms of sagas, letters, narratives, essays, and novels.  People speak in terse tones with the conciseness and abruptness of haiku.  Haiku are, in effect, the greatest challenge to condense thought onto its most brief and concise form.  People talk in haiku, more than in any other verse form.  The obtuse reader may speed by a haiku like a motorist going through a stoplight.  The editor, looking for a stereotyped verse and even more stereotyped thinking, would quickly reject such a manuscript.  But the quiet thinkers, knowing how to think on their own, will understand.  It is to them that these haiku are written.
