Okay so here is a game for y'all. I will post a haiku poem that condenses a classic work of literature into seventeen syllables. Whoever guesses gets to make the next puzzle.

self made man of means
could not break his daisy chain
floats in green light pool

Gonzo's sneaky out-of-turn haiku is Fight Club.

Madelines and tea
Make for vivid memories
Need a goodnight kiss
