Haiku
As you know, most Haiku poems written in modern times, don't follow the original structure of the 17 syllable: 5-7-5 line count. Also they are now broad with their choice of subject matter.When writing this, I was trying to focus on describing the size of the love for a person, Oceans deep (describing depth of love) Moons wide (describing width) Heavens high (describing height).
I was trying to move away from the traditional structure, at least with this poem.
