The traditional Japanese form of Haiku provides a rich vehicle for poetic expression. As with many seemingly simple things, complexity lurks in the shallows beneath the surface. |
| To fit with the division into three lines of five, seven and five syllables respectively, it is often necessary to dispense with the rules of traditional grammar, leading to a terse, yet expressive format. Through the addition of hyperlinks, lost structure can be regained and a new organisation appears. Each word leads to a new use and context, exposing a multiplicity of semantics. |
| While browsing these works, one gains an insight into the connectedness of the world, and the desire within us all to impose meaning where there is only apparent randomness. |
