At Devika's blog

At Devika Jyothi's blog, I find this, by Emily Dickinson

to see the summer sky

is poetry, though never in a book it lie –

true poems flee

which, to me, is extraordinarily beautiful, as well as an eloquent – though not intended – statement of the essence of haiku. Thank you, Devika.

And thank you, again and always, Emily.

Note: In the original post, I inadvertently omitted the word "summer," an error pointed out to me by Devika in a comment that, for reasons I do not understand has not yet appeared at the blog. Thanks again, Devika.
