Inside the suitcase
Flapping along the hinges
The pigeons unfold

This is one of dozens of Haikus I wrote a few years ago.
(for a public performance event that was part of Dublin's Culture night)

Receipt Haikus are created in a different way by the cash register till at the point of payment. For a small extra fee that goes to a charity, your receipt will emerge featuring a Haiku composed of and featuring at least some of the items on your purchase list. The Haiku is generated instantly by the payment device, even if it has a human operator. Your unique Haikus appear at the bottom of the till receipt on a detachable section so you can save them as collectable items.

if only the waits
had a deckchair provided
Godot takes his time
