just trying to hold up
the weight of your words
Ascanius in Troy
Around us, fire, Gigantomachy--
mother weeps, is lost, is dead.
Atlas is my father,
Ouranos, my grandfather,
and I, I am Hyas: who
remembers Hyas?

Well, technically, it doesn't have to be a haiku. See rule 4.
But it should contain 4 lines or less. 7 is way too many.
First four rules:
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.)

Workers of the world,
unite! You have nothing to lose
but your chains.

"I wear the chains I forged in life.
I made them link by link and yard by yard"
though the yard is secured,
peering through chain-link
the edges blur
