Just chanced upon Haikus/Senryus... a Japanese style of poetry in the form of three lines; first line has five syllables, second seven and third five again. They are primarily used to depict a particular emotion/object/scenery.
Am sure have flaunted all rules other than the syllable guideline, but what the heck... it's fun!
Tsunami:
Pleasant beachside stroll-
Overtly flirty stray wave
Soars skyward, engulfs
Tears:
Salty like the sea
Trickling slender lukewarm stream-
Sorrow begets thee
Beer:
Frothy foam, bubbles-
Elixir for life's troubles
Bitter yet so sweet
