haikuish —
a modern short poem that
does not adhere to strict
five-seven-five
syllables but appears on
a Facebook page
or journal
containing the word haiku
in its group title
leaving some stumped and
craving predictability
and others relieved
feeling free
for the first time from the confines
of rules and structure
