Paired Haiku Sequences A sequence of paired haiku--Paired haiku are meant to be read any way that the eye moves, from the top-left of each column or treating the whole as a single column with significant space in the center. Such a sequence may be read zig-zag, starting with the top line of either column or read straight down either left or right-hand column. Chess-knight's moves, one line across and two lines down, and visa versa, work equally well.
