I used to believe it was only the "20 somethings" who texted each other until I realized how it was another way of communicating and keeping in touch. Don't misunderstand ,I think it is very annoying when people answer their cell phone when I, who is the most important individual that the world revolves around is trying to have a conversation here (lol).
Sometimes texts are random but then I began to notice there was something else occurring. You often have to think of an abbreviated version of your message,succinct,concise when you are attempting to compose what you are trying to convey.I am not suggesting that Haiku is not a much appreciated art form in it's own simple way so beautiful.
Could you please call home
have not heard from you lately
Let's catch up on things

Hi, Im tatum, and I actually just became a follower of Tom.s's blogs (that made 1st comment...fate or chance?)
I live your straightforward, may be seen as sinical way of writing... looking forward to the nxt one! www.tatumreid.blogspot.com
dis is gr8!! texting in haiku!! i mean i've been doing it unconsciously all this while & never thought of it...btw i'm gonna use d ones u mentioned..damn useful...not 2 mention aesthetically pleasing!!! XD
haha I never thought of this way before. probably because I use full sentences and correct grammar when texting. it's just a habit. most people do text in haiku though, and without even noticing it. great post!

Not only is texting its own context (http://www.walkinthewords.blogspot.com/2008/12/thoughts-on-text-message-communication.html)it is an art form as you suggest.
I enjoyed your blog too and will check back again.
