"Hay(na)Ku" is a poetry form invented by Eileen Tabios in 2003. Click here for a basic primer and some samples. Quite simply, it is a three line poem, inspired by the Japanese Haiku form, that has one word on the first line, two on the second, and three on the third. Number of syllables is not counted, and rhymes are not required. Here are some of my early attempts:
Winter
Sun shines
On snowy dog.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unblinking
Staring eyes
Go away cat.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
What
Is the
Definition of life?
Is
It simply
A beating heart?
Or
Is there
Some thing more?
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Always
Another room
Endless home improvements.

I'm a Canadian, but don't hold that against me. We're really quite nice once you get to know us.
I'm an Atheist, but don't hold that against me. We're really quite nice, once you get to know us.
I think you've got a beautiful body, and if you wanted to, you could hold that against me.
