@skanman yeah, when I have a few extra minutes between things I'll pop one off. Usually taking a snippet or idea I overheard and reframing or expanding on it

@nomi I've written a few different types of poetry before, usually I don't even like haikus but yours are great. Yours inspired me to try and write my own, but mine are horrible. 😂 Any advice?

@skanman awesome. Yeah, it's an interesting format. Here's my approach

My only rule is: 5-7-5 no more, no less

I try to follow a format of situation, expand, subvert also. A strong subversion in the third line seems to be the most valuable piece.

There are a few other things I've found also
- smaller than you think, then even smaller - there is no room for anything complex or for explanations of simple things

- everything must be an already loaded spring - you don't have time to explain that a rock may fall. If you need something that falls, pick something the audience will already understand can fall they they can connect the dots
