Mindfulness
Since my interest in the Haiku form arose out of my exploration of mindfulness, most of my efforts will somehow fall under that heading. So rather than try to force-fit them into previously existing discussions, I will start my own. I make no pretense now, of understanding the nuances of the form other than the 5/7/5 requirement, so I guess they will mostly be "basterdizations". So be it, sometimes the message trumps the format. That being said, I promise to take the time to at least try to understand the rules that I may be breaking. I will start by collecting here the few that have been offered elsewhere.

Wind in the cave
movement in stillness
Power in silence

(Not exactly a haiku, but I prefer to leave these elegant words as is instead of changing anything)

Life is in all things
in their myriad divisions
and their unity

Confined by my mind
No place to run nor to hide
