laconic haiku
is a redundant phrase, thus
unnecessary

Bucky (R. Buckminster) Fuller referred to the phrase "The Universe" as redundant, so he often used "Universe" alone. He did so much, I don't think you could fit it into ten haikus (haiki?).

I'm always surprised when people tell me they never heard of him.

More about Bucky soon... below the definition.

DEFINITION of this 3-syllable adjective:

using few words; expressing much in few words; concise: a laconic reply.
