It's a tricky medium. You want to imply a beginning, middle, ending, and a sense of action between the three. I think a lot of the contemporary ones just went for setting a single scene, or an evocative idea or action, rather than a story. Which is cool, but ultimately less compelling.

I have a lot of experience writing haiku, tan bahk, and similar ultra-short form poems. I imagine it helps.
