It could be a haiku. They don't need to be 5-75 syllables. It's more about an observation or a moment of clarity/realisation. The first two lines set up a concept or image, and the third line closes out the thought, usually with contrast. Just have to structure it properly.

Cunts.

I once tried to write a haiku,
Whose syllables were out of skew.
The words started flowing;
I just kept on going,
A Limerick will just have to do.

5-75

You have been reading much longer haikus than I have 😜

That's how you know that comment isn't ai. No dash.

Oh, that reminds me: is Haiku still a slop-free OS?

Slop and driver free
