Using template haiku, I've started creating the haiku of Nietzsche from his philosophies in 'Beyond Good and Evil'. I chose Nietzsche because, while some of his maxims are short, the kind of ideas involved would not lend themselves easily to haiku or senryu. While the results aren't strict haiku or senryu, they're getting there.
