"Since
we know that classical music is timeless and everlasting, it is
precisely the eternal verities inherent in classical music that remain a
spiritual beacon for people all over the world," Van Cliburn
This is how I perceive hokku. On its own and of itself, it is timeless. It is not some boring-old-rehash of the same thing that we're writing today but rather a thing itself that is "timeless and everlasting".

they just aren't interested in helping me get the problem corrected. I
guess wealth and success doesn't need customers anymore?)

Dalvir Gill Thanks for sharing this angle Master Don Baird. But it's just ridiculous what's going on with FB. It's really helpful when I got to read comments by both you, from two different angles, even though coming to the same eye of the bull. ( Like once you yourself said that you and Master Wilson aren't twins ). Is creating a new Id ( something like Don Baird-II as many people have those too ) an option? ( you don't need to use it for any other purpose just to school us.
Robert D. Wilson I'll be glad when you are back, Don. And yes, hokku is like classical music: complex, layered, the product of work, study, and experience: a beacon, hokku, showing us the way through the morass of banality to heaven's river where a poem is more than an assemblage of this and that laid out in three lines.
