Sun beats down on me
The sky is warm, blue, and clear
Oh, yeah... I'm not home...

Haiku, defined here,
Five, seven, five each line sounds,
yet meaning is clear.

Haikus are good fun.
Though sometimes they don't make sense.

Haiku is japanese
shatters western rythmn,
and so I fall.

har har har - I kid.

Really, english haiku no matter how good, still sucks (in my opinion). Its something you can't replicate in english without making it sound ..well. bad. I know its been done for over 50 years, but seriously. Something are best left to their original culture.

Indeed English fails,
Sounds not syllables required.
Only then to find sense.
