@nomi ok so do you author these yourself?
@skanman yeah, when I have a few extra minutes between things I'll pop one off. Usually taking a snippet or idea I overheard and reframing or expanding on it

@skanman awesome. Yeah, it's an interesting format. Here's my approach
My only rule is: 5-7-5 no more, no less
I try to follow a format of situation, expand, subvert also. A strong subversion in the third line seems to be the most valuable piece.
There are a few other things I've found also
- smaller than you think, then even smaller - there is no room for anything complex or for explanations of simple things
- everything must be an already loaded spring - you don't have time to explain that a rock may fall. If you need something that falls, pick something the audience will already understand can fall they they can connect the dots
