Haha, part of me kind of wish I'd had livejournal at that age. It would've been nice to meet other people who liked the things I liked.
I think poetic structures are only as interesting as what we can do to bend or break them. That's why I like the modernists so much! I think Japanese haiku is the way it is because Japan holds nature in such high regard. I think it makes sense for a non-Japanese writer to do something different with it. (My favourite is "Strange" from your Barbarians collection, by the way).
