Realist Magic Haiku

The object withdraws
Yet to these eyes it appears
As Donald Trump's hair

(Graham had the great idea that there be a philosophy conference at which presenters only use haiku.)

Now those job advice posts begin to pay...heaven, earth and child baby!

If you're going to do that, go all the way. Sit in a circle and each one improvises a verse, building on what came before. See Ch. 7, "The Haikai, Network Poetry", in Eiko Ikegami, Bonds of Civility: Aesthetic Networks and the Political Origins of Japanese Culture. The haiku originated as the first verse in a linked verse form where all present made a contribution.
