a lamp’s glow—
withered like the page,
her finger

After having written hundreds of haiku in various styles and formats, I continued to experiment. The above haiku came out structurally polished in rough draft as 3/5/3. All I could do was add/remove/change punctuation. The haiku stands on its own with or without punctuation.
The haiku can be read from bottom to top as well without losing any of its original intent.
