- Think of five people who have the same first name who you have known personally in your lifetime. (bonus points for more obscure names.)
- Type their shared first name five times into a list.
- Write a five-word description of each person after each name. Make it epigrammatic, but not obvious enough to only be one person. Ex: no "wonderful love of my life" for a spouse or "answers the phone at work" for a receptionist.
- Arrange the list in either (your choice, but say which) chronological or non-chronological order, and number each name accordingly.
- in non-chronological order -
Tim 1 - tall musician and pathological liar
Tim 2 - cheerful musician and insurance salesman
Tim 3 - teen victim of rare disease
Tim 4 - artist and former drug addict
Tim 5 - polite non-geeky web artist

Anybody else reading this is welcome to play along too... :)

And now, I tell you about *my* invented poetical forms, from a few years back:
the pentahaiku and the very much more difficult traiku.
pentahaiku: a haiku using 5 words
traiku: a haiku using 3 words.
