A whyku (my own creation) is very similar to a haiku. The major differences are that the second line has only 5 syllables instead of 7 making the total 15, and the last line asks a "why" question.

form:
5
5
5 asking "why" something

Three by five with words
Last line asks us "why"
Why not try one too?

Good luck
