Haiku Homework (grade 1)
Got haiku fever
WOLer craze firing me up
Searching for deep thoughts
Must be 5-7-5
Learnt at College of Haiku
Not complete dumbo
Told my next step is
Present words of deep wisdom
Mat sat under cat
Despite passing bottom of class
you show budding promise.

I believe you are an expert in the field of haikuing. As I am still in the bud-opening stage (according to my College Principal) is my bud starting to open and bloom, or do I need to fertilize it more? I await your valued help.

I also understand you are into the field of roses (the Spanish Rose kind). Your knowledge would surely be of great assistance in helping me bud-open more and show my inner haiku glory. I await your valued help.
Writing good haiku's not easy
Your neurons must be willing, not sparse
And don't try to force them, never ever
As they might 3-syllable 'up your arse'
No, you have to sweet-talk and entice them
Give them some incentive to seek
So who wants to now try, come up with
A poem that's Haiku of the Week?
I wanna haiku Don....
Can I ?...
Can I ?...
Please? Please?
Me too?.....
Please? Please?...
(See what I mean? Works like a charm...) ? ..

Dear Don, I am no expert at all but with a line like "Mat sat under cat" I think you are going to do just fine! As for the principal, I say forget about him, listen to Thalia! She knows best! Excellent haiku ?
