The exercise:

Write two haiku about something: preposterous.

Have you changed the time your scheduled posts arrive at, or have you had a Daylight Savings Time change recently? I'm not complaining at all -- the current time is working well for me -- but I had noticed that they're a touch earlier this week :)

Preposterous
Lockdown is my fault?
Preposterous! I never
see more than ten folk!

------
What comes before that
Which comes after love? That would
Be preposteros.

[Couldn't resist breaking it into pre-post-Eros in the last haiku, sorry!]

Greg - the time did spring ahead an hour over the weekend, so that's likely it. Though I was tempted to start randomizing the scheduled times, just for kicks...

That second haiku is quite the handful. Nicely done, though. And yes, your first sums things up pretty well. Though I might have gone for a bigger number of folk and found a way to make it work with the syllable count :P
