Waterlogged
I asked, could I write
A haiku with fifteen words,
A watered-down poem.
Alas, I was one word short.
So now this is a tanka.

Real tanka hours, who's up?

Flow broken for me
“poem” is two syllables.
Though meta is nice.
Play on form: a way to turn
Uninspired into clever?
Second Half
English “haiku” need
Indirectness and more depth
To work well for me.
The topic's still pretty thin…
Thanks for writing. Sixth of eight.

Ah, the eternal argument over whether certain words are one syllable or two. I pronounce "poem" as two, but there are plenty of people who say it's one. I had a similar argument over "squirrel."
Anyway, this is an odd little piece of metapoetry, but I rather like it. It almost has an Ogden Nash feel to me.

Indeed, this was planned as a haiku, but restrictions often breed creativity, as happened here!

A 4 6 4 haiku? Truly you are a mad lad!
