RE: Cold Night, No Sake ~ Haiku of Japan

I like how there is always some kind of feeling associated with the words. I don't feel like English does that as well.

I think the problem there is English just has so many words, we are better able to do nuance without resorting to the kind of indirect suggestive language than Japan uses. Not that that matters these days, when the total vocabulary of most high schoolers is probably smaller than its ever been.

Haha, good point!
