You're right. I think it works better because it's more consistent and poetry benefits from an economy of words, elimination of waffle, distillation to the most concise expression, particularly with haiku. But more than anything, it benefits from being poetic, which your version does, thank you:
Alien spaceship,
Eerie light and booming voice:
“SHOW ME THAT BUTTHOLE.”
Hey! It's you! How are you? Lovely to speak to you.
It was me telling myself off for posting a haiku which directly asked the reader to show me their butthole, then I decided that that was a very bad plan indeed and that I should be ashamed to have asked it.
My app (eternity) is for some reason not showing me your user name, it just says to sign up for Lemmy. Lol. I can't tell who I'm talking to. Gonna have to give me a hint or three. Lmao
But ah, yes, no, that's a bad idea unless you're very into buttholes of all persuasions
Oh, I thought my app was glitching out! Lol. That's why I thought the account was deleted in my first reply!
Yeah, I remember you! What's going on? Everytime we've spoken has been very fun for me haha
I love the small town vibe Lemmy has sometimes, it's so nice seeing that interaction across communities, instead of solely confined to a single sub, y'know?
