Another video game incorporates less than perfect #haiku. Still, glad it's there. Maybe it will lead players to further explore the art form. Great article by @kevknez on the in-game side adventure and the challenges of 5-7-5.

competing for attention -
still none more than me.

Flowers wither
beneath the weight of the sun.
Yet the weeds stand tall.

blue plankton sparkle the sea -
answering in kind.
