Short-short summaries, microstories - how short can they get? How about seventeen syllables.

A haiku novel - why?
because we have that much time
before the next act.

I toss a few not-so-original plotku to the piranhas:

Boy meets girl on train.
They will marry out of love,
but divorce in hate.

Supreme commander
of galaxies defeated
by humble Jedi.
(I know - yuck! lol)

Ancient wizardry
crumbles, the world is saved by
computer techies.

Gunfighter rides in;
saloon doors swing, bullets fly;
gunfighter rides out.

Beautiful idea
but the implementation
is way too cliche'ed.

This is your humble
but exceedingly correct
plotku critic, I.

Every window smashed
Roof crumbles but walls stand firm
Fire rages within.
