Mike-ku

Odd - here's an old post I started, but never published:

So for some reason I was thinking the structure of haiku was 3-5-7, but I was wrong, so I'm calling this form mike-ku (I know, I know, you already invented it or somebody else did - blah, blah, blah, blah-blah ...)

Here's my first mike-ku:

Trembling leaf
I am not the tree
I am the cold knife cutting

I don't know why I never published it. I like the mike-ku - although, it is a little on the dark side. Not that that would have stopped me. I must have just forgotten I'd started it.

Anyhow, if you've got a good mike-ku to share, feel free to post it as a comment. (Or feel free to comment and tell me how mike-ku already exists and it's called something else.)
