A haiku is a traditional Japanese form of poetry, consisting of 17 syllables in three lines.
A senryu is a traditional Japanese form of poetry, similar to a haiku.
A rooku is a Melbourne variation invented by those people who responsible for putting up the horrible poetry in the trains.
I propose an addition to this list:
A fucyu - a traditional Australian form of poetry, consisting of 17 syllables in three lines. All of the syllables except for the last one/two/three consist of swear words, and the last part of the fucyu consists of a person's name!
UPDATE:
Other new possibilities in verse:
The grimerick - a limerick on particularly grim subjects.
The coupling rhymlet - just like a rhyming couplet, only pornographic.

f*ckin' bloody cat!
sh*ttin' in me f*ckin' hat--
arse-kickin, my oath.
brilliant concept.
how's that honeymoon, is it lingering?
Great new possibilities. Another is that oads are poems written in praise of porridge.
Lingering in a satisfyingly lingersome fashion, & Duck. As you can see. I'm having great fun today avoiding paying all manner of bills. There's a post planned on that shortly.
Mitzi, I feel that Keats would be greatly improved if all his odes were changed to toads. Toad on a Grecian Urn, Toad on a Nightingale, etc. Most amusing!
