===Juxtapoem===
A juxtapoem (Toki Pona: {{tp|toki musi jasima}} or {{tp|toki musi pi ijo ante tu}}) is a format invented by {{tok|jan Mali}}. They presented it during {{tp|[[suno pi toki pona]]}} 2021 and invited viewers to use it to write their own poems, which were read aloud on stream.

==Poetry formats from other languages==
 
===''Haiku''===
{{w|Haiku}} is a short poetry format originating from Japan, usually consisting of three phrases composed of 17 [[mora]]s in a 5-7-5 pattern. In Western languages, it is common to count syllables instead of moras. Haiku do not normally have {{w|rhyme}} or {{w|Metre (poetry)|meter}}. In Toki Pona, moraic haiku (where the coda {{tp|-n}} is counted separately) and syllabic haiku (where coda {{tp|-n}} is not counted) both exist.
 
Some examples of Toki Pona haiku:
* [[oldwikisource:toki Haiku kepeken toki pona|toki Haiku kepeken toki pona]] by Michael F. (11 syllabic haiku, [[pre-pu]])
