A whiteboard sign was in a small stand outside the booth where passersby could post haiku. It read:

Your burning man time
distilled into poetry
leaving trace thru thought!

Post your haiku here

Haiku is:
5 -> 7 -> 5
Slyables (sic) per line

Haiku written while at the Burning Man Decompression:

The blind in one eye,
Leading the blind to
A brighter future.

Sadly this was a 5.5.5 non-haiku.
