    That's not how you write a haiku. In Western terms, a haiku is a three-verse poem in which the number of syllables per verse is 5-7-5, like so:

    This is an haiku (5 syllables)
    They are hard to comprehend (7 syllables)
    But you can learn it (5 syllables)

    Get it?

    One thing I have found;
    Writing a haiku is much
    Simpler than Dróttkvætt

    There's this girl on HoL
    To whose cat's lucky embrace
    I've hung my Volvo

    Foolish Bob, you're wrong
    That was not a good Haiku
    Not Haiku at all.

    The breeder of cubes
    Is jealousy incarnate
    That is evident

    Agreed. I actually laughed for real, and that's rare for someone whose heart is black as coal.

    Gravediggers beware

    Choose one very wisely
    It's for the best.

    I am no poet,
    nor do I much enjoy it.
    Poetry, that is.

    Shocked is any man,
    To see her he last night found,
    More 'endowed' than he.

    The frog sits on a stone
    By the stone is a water
