Following the link provided by Naomi Epstein
http://teachertrainingunplugged.wordpress.com/2012/07/07/poetry-and-the-art-of-teaching-practice/
indicates that ...
> Have you forgotten the way to my hut?
> Each evening, I wait for the sound of your footsteps
> But they are never there.
... is actually the _translation_ of a (presumably 5-7-5 syllable) Haiku.
Naomi is the "Shema" Counselor for Teaching English to Deaf and Hard of
Hearing Students.
So let me say that the "Shema" prayer in Hebrew actually is a 5-7-5
syllable Haiku.
Try it yourself.
I have no idea whether this is the result of coincidence or intent.
