    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.

    Wielding The Shovel
    with deadly accuracy
    Gravediggers beware

    Promote and demote
    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.

    Xiao hates the haiku
    She can never quite get it
    Right, there aren't enough... oh fuck.

    And touch pleasure points.
