Re:I have. I used to call them "sandwich haikus" before
you told me the name some months ago. I like the super-short forms. My attitude towards revision is to keep cutting out all but the barest essentials - sometimes that produces haikus and tonkas. This particular poem is a rhymed quatrain because the reader needs the rhyming to see how my Bobby was pronouncing that last word.
