I Like to Wash - form Summary

Haiku's Brief, Cleansing Clarity

This three-line haiku uses a single, nature-based image to convey a moment of purification. As a haiku it compresses perception into a brief present-tense scene: the speaker washing away worldly dust with dew. The form’s brevity and focus on an ordinary natural detail turns a simple action into a contemplative, possibly spiritual gesture, inviting readers to see cleansing and ephemerality in a single, concentrated instant.
