Whispering softly

Yours is just too small

haikucronym

The haikucronym is the poetic hybrid of a haiku and an acronym. It appears in the traditional haiku form of three lines: five syllables, seven syllables, five syllables. The first letter of each word contributes to the acronym which serves as the title for the poem. The haikucronym was created by Jon Hoffman in 2002 for Peace Week at Luther College in Decorah, IA.
Here are a couple examples of haikucronyms:

Haikued

After Trump won the Presidency, I began to write 100 Haiku poems on social media. I figured, I had 100 days to become a poet, if we were giving Trump 100 days to become our President. I found, after about 45 days, that my friends on social media were sending me any and all memes regarding Haiku. Further, they began to respond to any of my posts with original poems they wrote in traditional Haiku form. Hence, I realized, I had been Haikued.
My dear friend Haikued me and her poem was much better than mine. I like to think my attempt at traditional Haiku is rather good, but She really out-Haikued me on my last post.
