Introducing
Milk Carton Haikus
Where less is more

The way we roll
No Crime in Rhymin’
It’s all down hill

Don’t get me wrong
Making thirteen work
Supersti-fun

Don’t even think
Six syllable words
Vocab elites

Five is your max
Second line only
Your mind to tax

Least three stanzas
Extravaganzas
Fine if funny

If you don’t rhyme
Don’t worry, no crime
Laughing’s our win

Wit’s on display
Your 4–5–4 best
Syllable less

Drafts only please
The eds to appease
Promise — don’t tease
