Where is a Good Haiku?

//fire//

Is it surfing suns,

expelled by gasping sunspot

to lucky poet?

\\air\\

Is it in the air,

syllabic beat? When hands brush,

pulses echoing?

//water//

Is it in the ground,

sipping lukewarm well water?

Drinking from footprints?

\\earth\\

Is it there climbing

Mount Everest, breathlessβ€”

no more Sisyphus?
