Reminds me of a passage I read in a book... one of those passages that stay with you somehow. It was about this long line of Koreans at a corner shop waiting to buy tickets. The part that hit me the most was how the author described the tickets littered around the shop after the sunset and the shop owner sweeping them up... he a Korean too. He swept, wishing the wind would blow them away instead...
I discovered haiku in the summer of 2004 while browsing poetry forums. Since then I kept a little journal of my haiku and in winter of 2005/6 I started other writings i.e.- short story, prose, and poetry. All my writing essentially centers around haiku. All my haiku are 5-7-5 syllables.

Anyway, nicely writ.
