My email has been receiving one haiku poem per day for years (from Tinywords.com). According to my research online, American haiku's are 10-14 syllables long, and it seems like they could be related to nature or a thought. Japanese haiku's have 17 syllables, with the format of 5-7-5, and are related to nature in some way. A haiku has two topics which relate to each other (are juxtaposed), and are short enough to say in one breath.
Today, I wrote my own haiku's and here are my attempts:
Sharp pencil
My words are
To the point
MS Diagnosis
I walk
Like I'm Drunk
Conformity
When in Rome
Do like the Romans
