I love haiku. They're the Fun Size of poetry.
I have separated these into two sections: haiku for more traditionally themed/spirited haiku writings, and nishi haiku, where "nishi" roughly means "Western", for a more Westernized take on haiku form for less traditional haiku. Where haiku tends to take a thing or happening and ball it up into one short, poignant set of words, with some seasonal or other temporal reference, I would say nishi haiku would focus on something more irreverent, humorous or absurd, even random, without any need to adhere to certain haiku criteria beyond the haiku form of syllable and line arrangement.
