It seems to me one trick is to see the simplest aspects of things, so simple they are difficult to see at all.

Spot on owasco. That's the mastery of haiku for sure. Lol, it's also why people who don't write haiku see them and say things like 'thats easy, I could do that'... because great haiku seem simple, but it's getting that perfect moment crystallized in efficient yet transcendental imagery that's far from easy.

Thanks for checking out my poem :)
