Listen, wedding guest:
Do not shoot an albatross!
Love all God's creatures.

I can't identify it but I am thrilled about the perfect haiku. It's something I'm fussy about and many don't do them correctly.🫣

@Magenta aww thanks. It's perfect in syllable count, but it doesn't follow the poetic tradition regarding mood and imagery. That's why I'm calling these pseudo-haikus!

@ThePatientAnarchist In that sense yes it feels a bit discombobulated, but the syllable count is perfect. 😁

@Magenta This one's a little closer to a real haiku, with the moon and stuff :)
