Haiku for May 23rd: Ice Hard Sharp

Slips sun, ice hard sharp.

This is one of those where the decisions I make on formatting can really change the reading of the haiku.  Is it "Slips sun, ice-hard sharp," or rather "Slips sun-ice, hard sharp"?

Some other formatting options could be:

Gone ice. The flash. Pines.

Or maybe:

 

Slips. Sun ice hard. Sharp.

Blunt. Thoughts slices sour. Thoughts is

gone. Ice the flash pines.

Poesytron has no "intention" when it creates.  In formatting its haiku for you, the reader, I am another author--or a translator, maybe, an intermediary force that shapes the poem and influences the meaning ascribed by your mind.

I am sure this intermediary step could also be automated, but I am in no way ready to tackle that computing challenge.

I did some creative formatting with this one.  (Though I'm not entirely happy with the way Blogger handles indentations, I'm not unhappy enough to mess with the html code to get it the way I would like.)
