Nancy’s Notes: The pixiku was invented by Alice E.P. Stephenson as a “wild child” of the combination of the haiku and the senryu. The poem is 3 lines but there is no syllable count restriction The poem should reflect a life experience or original personal quote. Uppercase and capital letters are allowed.

This is “Everybody’s On the Phone” by Jimmy Buffett
