    It’s amazing how a simple traffic incident can feel like a mini-drama when written this way. Very clever use of haiku structure!

    Ouch! I hope this was not your moment of 'now' but something you witnessed. Great haiku, nevertheless, and a good reminder to those who drive.

    Well-wrought haikus! But I definitely like milkshakes and living room boogies better than traffic stops!

    Good thing it didn't end with an accident, just a fine. Great haiku, Tiffany!

    This is so simple it’s kinda slick! I swear traffic laws feel like the universe sometimes lol. 💖

  • The driver was likely counting Haiku syllables while driving; I hear that writing poetry whilst behind the wheel will soon be illegal, lol
