    I've never tried Haiku. I'm not even sure about the rules that define it.

    An apple spreads its branches
    Invading sacred space
    I shape its life.

    Does that make the grade?

    Close.

    The rules are pretty simple.

    Syllables.

    First line- 5, 2nd line - 7, 3rd line 5.

    5, 7, 5.

    Ahh.....

    I was hunting last week then had a death in the family so did a quick return and turn around and went to the funeral. 2500 miles. 1 deer. 1 blizzard. 1 funeral.

    Too many miles. Too little sleep. I would still expect to successfully count syllables!

    Butch asks for haiku
    I fumble repeatedly
    Virtuous patience.

    Err.. Butch, I think that you would need to write it "Ev'ryone says that its wrong." (or "Everyone says its wrong"). Everyone is 4 syllables when it is enunciated fully so Scars is correct.

    In honor of Butch the MasterBlaster...

    Present-day dino,
    sticks to his trusty tautline.
    Will he see the light?


    love

    My haiku is poor

    The Japanese are appalled

    But, it's my first one!
