Don’t let my haikus be an example of what a haiku is. According to another blogger, I regularly break classical haiku rules. The one thing I’ve been doing is using the syllable/line format – 5-7-5. It gives me some discipline and forces me to concentrate on language use.
I wondered about that. Thanks for clearing it up for me. But, I think your haiku about the moth led to the flame had the desired punch. Also, the sound of chimes contrasted with silence. Very nice.
Absolute serenity oozes through reading this wonderful piece…!:)

Skywalker, This is such a meaningful and lovely haiku!
Thanks, Carol.
I’m understanding haiku, the two thoughts juxtaposed by a punctuating phrase between.
