Haiku in Fixed Form

In the "zip" form developed by John Carley, a haiku of 15 syllables is presented over two lines, each of which contains one internal caesura represented by a double space.[16][17]
                  buoyed up   on the rising tide
  a fleet of head boards   bang the wall
John Carley (Magma No 19, 2001)
A fixed-form 5-3-5 syllable (or 3-5-3 word) haiku is sometimes known as a lune.[18][19]
