complete expression

the morning after

marks the beginning of an

inexplicable

obsession; time-stamps ev'ry

passing second sat

waiting for the next time; the

next tryst; trying hard

to seperate my body

from my mind; from the

label ... too homogenous

fighting against what

should be simple; what should be

complete expression

Hi Gabe,

Nice poem that conveys more every time I read it.

I am mystified about the haiku description though.

According to my understanding the following reference is quite comprehensive:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku

However I do not want to be appear dogmatic about this as I prefer a very flexible approach to poetic expression. I am just curious about your haiku description.

I dunno, dude. I'm not a haiku expert. I remember reading about different types of haiku patterns. If this is not a haiku. Then it must be in a haiku style.

Happy New Year
