My daughter knows I write poetry and sometimes use the haiku form. She got me a tee-shirt that gets a lot of comments and laughs when I wear it. This is the haiku printed on the shirt:

But sometimes they don’t make sense

Juxtaposition is an essential part and the above haiku certainly has that. Some think nature is an essential theme of the haiku form, but that isn’t true although mine have been about hiking in the desert of Arizona, the mountains of Colorado and the forests of Michigan. Here’s one by me today:
It is a fun form
to create in one’s mind’s eye
but can cause sadness.
