Hay(Na)Ku and Reverse Hay(Na)Ku poems

The Hay(Na)Ku is a 3 Line Filipino American modern poem using a word count of six instead of syllables, 1 in the first line, 2 in the second, and 3 in the third.

Example:

Inspiration
Can come
From within you

The Reverse Hay(Na)Ku is the same as the Hay(Na)Ku poem except with the order reversed, using a word count of six instead of syllables, 3 in the first line, 2 in the second, and 1 in the third.

Example: from a New England headstone 

I told you
I was
Sick
