If death is like a sonnet then life would be a haiku. The sonnet, a lyrical poem, the beauty and magic with the last breath~ love, words fading and floating off into the abyss that is space whilst our everyday lives or days more important than normal become just a mere whisper in only a few short syllables through which we convey with our hearts the truth of the universe in a single moment briefly. ↗

— R.M. Engelhardt

Haiku is not a shriek, a howl, a sigh, or a yawn; rather, it is the deep breath of life. ↗
