In recent years, haikus have been something like a training ground with language for me. This article by Lou Freshwater speaks to the art of haiku, and it seems to share a similar view I’ve always felt. Haikus are like yoga for a writer. They keep you stretched out and disciplined.

Thanks for this link, it was a great essay. I have similar views about the discipline of haiku for a writer (especially one like me who tends to be too wordy).
