Thanks for the lesson. Alan Watts was the plop guy, and then that Ginsberg guy took the word - interesting, that, and funny. Glad to see you found an original use for "ruthless," and the end-piece haiku was quite good, especially given the dual limitations of syllable count and word use. As for this dangerous thing - I dunno, you might be dramatizing. :-)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for commenting at the Resident Djinn.

Reminds me of my undergrad senior research project. It was on the connections between Buddhism and sound, focusing on the shakuhachi, but I did a whole section just on haiku. <BR/><BR/>Frogs are great.
