A NaisaiKu is a creative poetic form, somewhat similar to haiku, but linking several syllabically specific stanzas with a repeated title. The title appears throughout a NaisaiKu in caps, occupying this designated spot in each stanza. Basically, each stanza contains two haikus, with the second inverting the first.
