If you've noticed, I've started posting some haiku on this blog. I strongly suspect I'm quite bad at poetry (despite my name), but I've recently found that this form is a much more succinct way for conveying my thoughts at a particular moment--the essence of which would be diluted with a more long-winded post. Taken literally, my haiku are actual scenes from my life, on the day that it was posted. As for the meaning, the interpretation is up to the reader.
(I've started a list of haiku here. Also found on the links page.)
