Haiku

Haiku take only a few seconds to read, but the pleasures of the good ones can last forever. In Rousseau's original take on this classic form, the first two lines (of 12 syllables) offer an unconventional observation on 21st Century life (with a focus on New York). The final line (of five syllables) veers off at an oblique angle, providing unexpected (and funny or telling or agonizing) commentary on what has come before. Rousseau has been called “the master of modern Haiku” by Dr. Craig Cravens, a literature professor at the University of Texas/Austin. And don't forget: You can also co-author a Haiku with him!
