A Monoku is a type of poem which is made up of a single horizontal line. Traditionally considered as a haiku writing, it is currently accepted as a variant of the haiku form of poetry. Monoku emerged as an independent style of poetry in the 1970s.
Piku – pi-ku (or 𝜋-ku) is a poem with syllable structure 3-1-4. Note that the pi-ku does not necessarily have to be math-related.

The water waste here in Las Vegas makes me mad. People still have grass lawns, and the darn golf courses gobble water up at a ridiculous pace.

People waste way too much water, John. They take it for granted.

Yes, and that’s sooo bad! Our water source, Lake Mead is horribly low!

I follow the legal entity on Instagram that is in charge of the boat ramps, they must continually move the docks and anything else associated with the ramp, down. Standing on the ramp, in some places you can see where the waterline should be, and that you would be 100 feet underwater if the lake were at full pond. Damn scary. Why can’t humans make the price of desalinating ocean water drop significantly!

We take water for granted and we cannot continue to do so. If we do there will come a time when life will wither away.
