How to Haiku

A haiku is an un-rhyming verse form, conveying a complete image or feeling in three metrical phrases of 5, 7 and 5.

To put it more simply: 3 lines, 17 syllables, divided 5, 7, 5.

Here are some examples:
  • 1Tiny bar of soap.
    Grande latte enema.
    His balls are ice cold!
  • 2"This is cancer, right?"
    If I did have a tumor,
    I'd name it Marla.
  • 3Was it a sweater?
    Or was it an animal?
    I am so confused.
