OK, to be honest, I don't understand the role of silence in a haiku. I know it should be an integral element, but how to incorporate silence within a haiku is a difficult art to learn. Does it occur in the pauses between lines, in the interstices between words?
Or does silence resonate from the time before the poem existed to the time after? Is it the hidden stitching behind the haiku?
