Blasting the cherry blossoms . . .
You've read--at least I hope you've read--Theodora Goss's seminal Infernokrusher poem. Now, prepare yourself for haikus from three of the premier literary talents of our time:
shônetsu ni
kemono torakku
haru kibaku
(In scorching heat,
beast trucks.
Springtime explodes.)
- David Moles
Still water's mirror,
Rippled by a landing crane.
And my flamethrower.
- Scott Westerfeld
Write Dr not Ms
Or exploded in pieces
You'll be Mr S
- Justine Larbalestier
I'm pretty sure that last one is a threat.
Updated to add that anyone who wishes to contribute their own IK haiku should do so in the comments. But remember; bad haiku makes Godzilla cry. Or at least upsets him. It's hard to tell for sure about the tears, what with all the stomping and the fire-breathing.

Bad haiku makes Godzilla cry is a brilliant observation that badly needs to be more widely shared.
If only for the sake of rampage-prevention.
Those of us who live in large cities and work in photogenic buildings will thank you.
