I knew the meme, but I didn't know how effectively it can be compressed into "| || || |_".

I thought that was a unicode character for a second. Well done.
In the spring, a man built a pillar
In the summer, he built another
In the autumn, they stand tall
But come winter, one falls
And loss in poetry, I'm getting it now. Amazing! 8D
Even alluding to loss is enough for people to remember it. Loss is almost like a visual or written Rickroll at this point.
That said, I have found that the front probably should not distract from the content. So if you, say, post a grid of four pictures of bunnies whose ears take the shapes | || || |_, then people may simply see pictures of bunnies, and fail to notice the loss.
Trust me, I tried.
