And have you tried the Haikuku format?

Dear Percy, I take haiku seriously. That's not to say I don't often write with levity, but I do not care for the way haiku has been demeaned and turned into an internet joke. If haikuku is for you, than more power to you. Thanks for your comment.

Interesting Idea

I don’t use the term as an insult — the American idiot. I mean it in a precise way, as I try to remind people. For the Greeks, "idiot" carried a precise and special meaning. The person who was only interested in private life, private gain, private advantage. Who had no conception of a public good, common wealth, shared interest. To the Greeks, the pioneers of democracy, the creators of the demos, such a person was the most contemptible of all. Because even the Greeks seemed to understand: you can’t make a functioning democracy out of...idiots.
