The exercise:

Write two haiku about: distortion.

Distortion has a mathematical meaning, though that Wikipedia link is a pretty poor attempt to describe it. While wikipedia has definitely got better over the last ten years, I think all the usual caveats about the information it offers still apply. Rather than say anything too complicated I'll just note that seeing if circles are distorted to ellipses is really not what we use distortion for....

Distortion
Her lies multiply,
her idea of the truth
is pure distortion.

Your conga line, your
hernia like, distorted
is, as Yoda says.

Greg - so you've switched to spending your time as a professional Wikipedia updater?

Hah, got lost on my first attempt at reading your second, but then I managed to get to the final line and re-read it again and it instantly became my favorite.
