Top definition
a type of short form zen poetry that's the same as haiku (ie., 5-7-5 syl per line) but which has reference to altered states of consciousness.
When the doors of perception are thrown wide or torn off their fasteners; short verse constructs such as highku can capture moments, realizations and altered glimpses of other states of consciousness.

Jul 15 Word of the Day
The safeguarding of Earth and other worlds from biological cross-contamination (i.e. billionaires with too much time on their hands).

Also known as “planetary protection.” Planetary protection / quarantine “reflects both the unknown nature of the space environment and the desire of the scientific community to preserve the pristine nature of celestial bodies until they can be studied in detail.”

There are two types of interplanetary contamination. Forward contamination is the transfer of viable organisms from Earth to another celestial body. Back contamination is the transfer of extraterrestrial organisms, if such exist, back to the Earth's biosphere.
Billionaires are having a dick swinging space race while the earth experiences record breaking heatwaves that cause sea creatures to literally cook inside their shells. We need planetary quarantine.

A standard haiku, only written when high.
My highku:

The great octopus,
Strangles with his tentacles,
And shows no mercy.

A sub-form of fratku, which is itself a variant of haiku. A three-line poem about marijuana. Must follow a strict 5-7-5 syllable count.
Sample high-ku:

Herbal remedy:
Rid yourself of all your ills.
Then laugh your ass off.

I love the U.S.,
it’s as perfect as I, though
not nearly so high.
