As an arbitrary attempt to leave my intellectual mark upon the world, I decided to invent a new form of poetry. Unfortunately, I'm not very good at poetry. I don't even really like it. Therefore any potential form had to be both short and self-writing.

The result of literally minutes of intense procrastination: found acronym haiku.

Take an acronym. Expand both ends redundantly. Done. Example: 'ATM' becomes 'Automatic ATM Machine'. Easy! Yet also compelling to the modern soul, carefuly deconstructing the linguistic glyphs that surround us with a knowing, self-referential wink. Or something.

Personal PIN Number. File FTP Protocol. Light LASER Radiation. Redundant RAID Drives. Central CIA Agency. Radio RADAR Ranging. Grand GOP Party.
