I wanted to take a turn writing a haiku. It's the first time I've written and posted one on Steemit (pretty sure). Guess it came out mirrored....which might be even more appropriate.
This morning entailed going through emails and taking down important information, using screenshots. Screenshots have become an important way of taking notes, using a smartphone. It makes it easy to reference back to important information.
Often we find ourselves relieved, yet burdened by technology. This haiku is meant to embrace this opposition, highlighting a balance between the two. In this digital era, we can never be too careful...
My life in little screenshots

I delete the larger costs

Haha. I found out haiku is 5, 7, 5 and I did 7, 5, 7. Whoops.

I noticed too! I thought something was 'off'.
Still done quite well!
Something like that. Kept it true to the original.

I like it. So you inverted the syllable. It still flows to the third line message. You changed the rules - you name it's style. I'm leaning toward Broken Rules Haiku. Toss it out there and see if it sticks. It truly could be interesting to see if it catches on. Run a challenge (not a contest) to see if it gains attention. Choose a random syllable prompt like 9-6-9 or 6-4-6 and see how it goes.

I'll give this a try. I'll create a trophy to use as an incentive. If it is well received maybe we could co-sponsor it as a contest. I'll give you credit in the initial post for the inspiration and name. Wish me luck. :)

Sorry I missed this. I thought I had commented on it, I guess I never hit the "Post" button. I like how you were able to embrace the opposition with your piece and the 7-5-7 output. This could also be considered a haibun...or nubiah, which is a short bit of prose followed by a haiku. Good work here.
Oh, BTW, I'm a guy.

LOL, that's good...either that or the three stooges.
There's a few female Mo's on here and I figure people just associate the name with them. It's all good.
