These are poetic techinques which haiku tries to avoid by relying on clear imagery and juxtaposition.<br /><br />love from mandyMandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09390965174767597956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6597485523494709864.post-39837199332155845452009-07-25T20:32:17.465-07:002009-07-25T20:32:17.465-07:00Hmmm.
