No stranger than a sonnet or a limerick or even iambic pentameter.

Limericks are hard
I am not a poetess
But Haikus simple

The classroom too hotNEILL THE NOTORIOUS wrote:And in perfect meter
to concentrate on maths books
so I never now remember how to count or to properly calculate the correct number of syllables for haiku.

Re: CH Haikus
No way could I better Mary Mc's beautiful and evocative work, so was aiming for something a bit JRish, centered around radiators and floating livers, but, instead, came up with
Scabby, itching knees
Showing between skirt and socks
On hill to Ashbourne
Crumpled, blood stained cloth
Clutched between trembling fingers
As bully approaches.
OK, getting far too maudlin. A nice glass of 5 star Martell's while I watch New Tricks should help.
