I find the haiku to be fantastic because I can pump them out in 15-20 seconds while coming off as sophisticated. This works even if the subject matter is ridiculous... let's explore.
Summertime zephyr;
Refreshes the soul, soothes me
Life is but a wind
See, I picked a theme, rolled with it, and knocked that baby out in about a minute... with most of that time dedicated to counting syllables on my fingers. A second go:
Arctic windswept morn
The falling snow caresses;
The earth is embraced
Again, lots of time dedicated to counting syllables but not much to the actual choosing of words. I also got to express my undying love of winter. Time for the true test:
Bathroom love maker;
The smacking disturbs, "Oh God"
He's in there alone
Crude, yet poignant.
