I personally get a kick out of them. There’s something to be said for conciseness and brevity.

I love them, personally. Of course, some of them are stronger than others, but the best of them have good rhythm and surprising insight packed into a concise format. Reminds me of some of Richard Brautigan’s work.

lol!
I think Daze voted for number 3!
i liked the poem because it was a single thought, split across a white canvas, in brief microthoughts. A taste of “what are these normals?” remains on the tongue after reading it. A quizzical nod at a life where to be normal is abnormal to oneself.
Also, they are reminiscent of William Carlos Williams poem, “a red wheelbarrow.”
"so much depends
upon
a red wheel
barrow
glazed with rain
water
beside the white
chickens." --william carlos williams
Free verse is the style of poetry that usually has no rhyme or meter attached. It’s free. Very popular modern style of poetry (I took a poetry class at the community college and I am a big fan of poetry, especially free verse, post-modern stuff like Philip Levine).
HIGH FIVE! 10 out of 10 red wheelbarrows

I didn’t know that. I need to work on my Japanese!
Does Haiku mean ‘bless you’ in Japanese?
