Very provocative in the best sense of the word. I write my weekly essays and they are an intellectual challenge. But what other spark of creativity could I employ using Substack? Your essay has me thinking more about that question.
Is it forbidden
To end this poetic form
with the word haiku?

Haha! I've got my haiku pencil back out. Must write more .... I suppose if I added a "What to do next" section at the end of this post, I would pose the questions, "Do you want this writing to speak to timeless human questions? If so, which one in this post?" I don't think even the most "literary" writer answers "yes" every time, but it does add another level of interest. You have the benefit of writing the essay form very well and finding an audience that appreciates it. I would suggest that the creative spark is already in evidence. :-)

One timeless question
Per post, she admonishes,
Else the tea grows cold.
Love your haiku!
