Accidental haiku death

Death of some poor schmuck

Industry spokes folks

Stay away from words

Acrostic rensaku is a literary form of my own device, which when consumed may result in fatal episodes of insight. Haiku Reader Dies is the result of dangerous clinical experimentation which led to the demise of that poor schmuck. Don't tell anyone. I was never here.
