A Juxtapoem {{aside|injuxtapoem (Toki Pona: {{tp|toki musi jasima}} or {{tp|toki musi pi ijo ante tu}}}}) is a format invented myby {{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. The format involves describing a contrast between two different things.<ref>{{cite YouTube|id=KXbXmUBzlKc|title=A poem by any other name #1 {{!}} {{tok|suno pi toki pona}} {{!}} toki pona day 2021|author={{tok|jan Mali}}|channel={{tp|ma pona pi toki pona}}|handle={{tok|maponapitokipona}}|date=2021-09-01|access-date=2024-03-03}}</ref><ref>{{cite YouTube|id=5mh2MYJTyX0|title=A poem by any other name #2 {{!}} {{tok|suno pi toki pona}} {{!}} toki pona day 2021|author={{tok|jan Mali}}|channel={{tp|ma pona pi toki pona}}|handle={{tok|maponapitokipona}}|date=2021-09-03|access-date=2024-03-03}}</ref>

▲==Popular formats from other languages==
{{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:
* [//wikisource.org/wiki/Toki_Haiku_kepeken_toki_pona[oldwikisource:toki {{tpHaiku kepeken toki pona|toki Haiku kepeken toki pona}}]] by Michael F. (11 syllabic haiku, [[pre-pu]])
====Traditional features of Japanese haiku====
<!-- based on information from Japanese and English Wikipedia, summarized and aimed at potential Toki Pona poets -->
Beside the 5-7-5 structure, requirements for Japanese haiku traditionally include a {{w|kireji|"cutting word"}} and a {{w|kigo|"seasonal word"}}. Haiku are often, but not necessarily, about nature.
A {{w|kigo|"seasonal word"}} {{aside|Japanese: {{w|kigo|{{lang|ja|季語}} {{lang|ja-Latn|''kigo''}}}}}} is a word that has a cultural association with one of the four seasons, indicating in which part of the year the poem takes place. See "{{w|List of kigo}}" on Wikipedia for a list of examples. Some poets believe that it is more important that the poem conveys the atmosphere of a season than that it includes a specific seasonal word.<ref name="kanshou" /> Other poets also write "seasonless" haiku.<ref name="kanshou">

{{w|kireji|"Cutting words"}} {{aside|Japanese: {{w|kireji|{{lang|ja|切れ字}} {{lang|ja-Latn|''kireji''}}}}}} are a group of Japanese particles and verb endings that mark a break in the poem. They are typically placed at the end of the first or second phrase to cut the poem into two sections {{aside|5-7 and 5, or 5 and 7-5}}, indicating that the verse consists of two thoughts half independent of each other.<ref>{{cite book|author=Nobuyuki Yuasa|section=Translating 'the sound of water'|title=The Translator's Art|publihser=Penguin|date=1987|ISBN=0-14-009226-9|page=234}}</ref> The poet {{lang|ja-Latn|[[w:ja:復本一郎|Fukumoto Ichirō]]}} claims that a haiku is most interesting when these two thoughts are very far removed from each other but still have a thin connection.<ref name="fukumoto"/> Use of cutting words is in decline in Japan,<ref name="fukumoto">{{cite book|author={{lang|ja|復本一郎}}|title={{lang|ja|『俳句と川柳』}}|date=2014|publisher={{lang|ja|講談社学術文庫}}|pages=237-255}}</ref> and the two-section structure can also be implied without a cutting word. The strongest candidate for a cutting word in Toki Pona would likely be {{tp|[[a]]}}, with other options being {{tp|[[kin]]}} and {{tp|[[la]]}}.
====Closely related formats====
Haiku originate from the classical Japanese {{lang|ja-Latn|''{{w|renga}}''}} format which, like the modern {{lang|ja-Latn|''{{w|tanka}}''}} format, is composed of a 5-7-5 section followed by a 7-7 section.
{{lang|ja-Latn|''{{w|Senryū}}''}} is another 5-7-5 format which otherwise shares none of the haiku's features listed above.
