kimchi is haiku. or is haiku kimchi? both seem simple. 5 syllables, cabbage, 7 syllables, fermentation, 5 syllables, spices. but someone who understands haiku could explain the complicated nuance of the language used in each line. while someone who loves kimchi could describe the complicated nuance of the vegetables used in the recipe. haiku has a natural element. kimchi has a radish element. you become familiar with haiku by reading. seeing and hearing and studying it. you become familiar with kimchi by tasting. smelling and stirring and studying it. so which is which? is kimchi haiku or is haiku kimchi?
I can't even explain how much I love this. "kimchi has a radish element." So good.
