Robert Gaskin’s poem “HAIKU ARE LIKE TROLLIES”:
Wandering in mist
Reaching out to soft sunlight
Blue-scaled dragons pause.
Moon low over sea
Glimpse of discarded cocoon
Small fish swimming idly.

John Morris’s poem “Haiku—At Random”:
Frogling, listen, waters
Insatiable, listen,
The still, scarecrow dusk.
Listen: I dreamed, was slain.
Up, battles! Echo these dusk
Battles! Glittering .
Fleas spring far, scarecrow,
Oh scarecrow, scarecrow: well, far,
Scarecrow, oh scarecrow.

These digital poems were groundbreaking at the time they were created. The people involved certainly match the three “-un” terms in the Prescribed Title. The development of this type of poem has raised questions (i.e. challenges) about the nature of art, language, poetry etc.
