Harish:
Some are rather nice and could have been poems:) Minimalism, as the haiku form revels in, works well in 1, 3 and 5 here...
In #2, the lightness of touch contrasts drastically with the idea...like Basu Chatterjee doing a Mrinal Sen...
As for #4... ``Art is a distraction,
Isn’t addition and subtraction
Merely
Accepted abstraction``...
was it written under hallucination?! And if one wants to nitpick, then all abstractions (especially accepted ones) are the sum total of additions and subtractions. Think about it. You may disagree...
