Haiku poo, or Haiku o shinagara haiku(Haiku while you poop), is an ancient form of haiku used to pass the
time while in the bathroom, meditating on the physical release from within. A three-line poem with 17 syllables, put together in a 5–7–5 pattern, it is usually
said in one breath, which
may be very helpful depending on type of poop or length of time in the bathroom.

ここで私は座って呼吸する
ヒトデは水に向かって話す
私は終わってフラッシュする
Koko de watashi
wa suwatte kokyū suru
Hitode
wa mizu ni mukatte hanasu
Watashi wa owatte furasshu suru
Here I sit and breathe
Starfish speaks to the water
I finish and flush
