Rules from the op 
So the fractured haiku's the attraction,
but doesn't explain the infraction.
If you're breaking the rules
just to prove we're all fools,
then you're right, this choo-choo's lost traction.
poor rules bent to fracture
pretzel makers see no way out
salt stings the open wound

Quote:Your TINY poem should:
1. Use 2 or more significant words from the previous poem.
2. Echo some aspect of the previous poem (optional).
3. Contain 1 to 4 lines, or be a limerick.
4. Be a fauxku, pseudoku, otherku** (seebelow), a real haiku (not that
anyone really knows what one is), limerick, or a whatever-you-please
(e.g. metaphorically dense rhyming Nyāya Sūtra). Just make it TINY.
(And since this is fake art, TINY is not defined.)
So the fractured haiku's the attraction,
but doesn't explain the infraction.
