Like Whittling A Precise Miniature Horse

What is the answer
to why haikus are so short
and yet infinite

Great. Thanks. Besides the syllables - these are real haikus in that they deal with present, describe what is, move to universal.

As a friend of mine said:

haikus are silly,
too short to say anything:
no significance.


And I responded:

haikus are so short
because they are very deep;
you must be shallow.
