You may be asking yourself, “What does my earlier haiku post have to do with technical writing?”

Learning to write haiku is very similar. You must choose your words wisely, precisely, and use concise and exacting language to get the message across to your reader using the 5/7/5 syllable pattern.
Enough said.
