Aha moments are certainly celebrated by haiku, but the central principle, ampliative induction, is something we use every time we consult our watches or get our bearings by a landmark. We do these things all the time and yet we are not always astonished. This sort of poetry rewards close attention and deserves more of it. Maybe the mystery will get solved.
I like this almost haiku form that gives in substance a similar 'Aha!' result. Thanks as always, Geo.!
