I love haiku & senryu, the latter following the same format, but speaking about human nature & I suppose other animals' natures.

I used to write a lot of them & started carrying a tablet (paper lol) & pen with me so that as life presented verse inspiration, I could capture it in the fly.

Pretty soon, the muses were taking over my conscious life, so I stopped.

Maybe I should take it back up, as a diversion wouldn't be a bad thing these days.

Have you written others?
