Haiku
From FGVwiki
[A haiku is a Japanese non-rhyming poem and a set rhythm. When written in English, they're 3 lines long, with the first line limited to 5 syllables, the second 7, and the last line 5 syllables again. Traditionally they contain a reference to the seasons or nature. (note: the plural of haiku is haiku.)]
Example by Ifny:
- We listen to beeps
- Watch the sunset, push buttons
- Another day done.
