means to an end

Hay(na)ku:
looks fun
so much fun

I
went back
and worked on

The
long prompt.
use all 20?

Saving
my life
encouraging creative outlets!

Used
all 20.
you gonna try?

Pleeeease
say yes!!!
trust the poem

Afraid
at 15
I’ll mess up

Do.
It’s amazing
works itself out

Just
to say
what it wants.

  1. Now I sit and write
    A verse to bring your heart peace.
    Time to rest easy.

  2. This is a digression from the Hay(na)ku form I see above (or is it Found Poetry that merely mentions Hay-na-ku?), but if you are in the mood for infinite infantile syllabic fun, come on over to:

    1. I don’t think it’s especially good, but it does comply with Hay(na)ku form as I understand it:

      In a traditional Hay(na)ku, there are:
      A tercet: 3 lines.
      A total of 6 words: 1 in the first line, 2 in the second line, and 3 in the third line.
      There is no restriction on syllables or stressed or rhymes.

      1. I meant that my COMMENT was a digression, sorry. Your following of that particular form seems precise.

      2. Lol. And here I was getting all defensive. I lasted about 30 seconds on the bad haiku site…

        I thought the brilliance of my haiku offerings would be discernible 🤩
