Lovely post, Kate. I have always found writing haiku (or attempting to) an escapist writing challenge. I wrote a few last winter after a particularly frosty walk in the woods; if I still have them I will share. I think the haiku is such a simple way to express the wonder of the natural world, and unlike composing formal poetry, it often feels less daunting to get 'wrong'.

Looking forward to your talk next week!
