Note: A punku is a neo form of the haiku that was invented by this woman that I used to follow on twitter. The punku is a haiku, but it needs no kigo, no kireji, and it requires a pun. In truth it is more like a senryu.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[1] I am depressed
In the midwest––
This state of Missouri
[2] He’s such a bully,
He bleeds mean;
He’s really a hyperbole.
[3] I think the homeless
Shouldn’t marry
But I’m hobo-phobic
[4] Although murderous
Sin fails to describe
The praying mantis.
[5] Mamas don’t let
Your cowboys grow up
To be minotaurs.
