Thank you for your kind comment!

Thanks for your clear comment, Karl. Sadly there are many people cheering for a lot of "drumming babble" nowadays, as if the mind behind it were sound.

I've especially promoted this one on the day
Peter Higgs died, age 91.

Very well written clear message!

It's https://www.poetry.com/poem/179608/in-juvinile-days

I'll post a triple hepkoe I made for the facebook group to inspire you.

I forgot: The 11 words should each be unique, no repeated words, not even articles ;-)

Go ahead: 5-7-5 syllables, first and third line rhyming and in total 11 words.

Thank you for your comment. This haiku (or senryu) is rhymed and follows the rules defined for a 'hepkoe' (a Dutch form with a special group on Facebook)

This poem is just word play. When I wrote it, I was thinking about how a poet sometimes tries to steer a poem in a certain direction and fails, as if riding a wild horse, Karl. :-)

Thank you very much!

Thanks Luis

Very true! Excellent poem.
