Say Hello (Haiku) by Sawa

The sun, she rises -- Pinholed in cellophane clouds, Counting down the days

Sawa 7-Apr-03/12:07 AM
What I did isn't closeminded at all; there's nothing to close my mind off to. Just because a substantial amount of people associate the sun with all things masculine doesn't mean everyone has to abide by it as if it were an unspoken rule, something I see happening a lot on Poem Ranker. Heaven forbid I call the sun by 'she', something that doesn't have sex organs to identify it as neither male nor female in the first place. I don't think anyone is looking to mimic and copycat anything in their haiku; I certainly am not. If haiku, all of poetry and the rest of the world was static and stagnant, nothing would ever evolve and grow. What kind of a world would that be to live in?
