Slips sun, ice hard sharp.
Blunt thoughts slices sour thoughts-- is
gone. Ice. The flash pines.
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:
Slips sun ice hard, sharp
blunt thoughts. Slices sour thoughts is--
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.
