What are the parameters of a haiku poem? I forget. I love to write it, but I can't remember how many sylables per line....

it doesn't matter,
what your intentions may be,
only what you do.

Good one, Jeny.

Here's a Haiku link for those who really don't have the "class" for poetry.

Haiku is the only kind of poetry I can write because I can't get overly wordy and dramatic.

If you ever need a Haiku, but can't come up with one on your own.

I love Haiku. When I have time, I'll try to write some myself.

Here's what the haiku generator gave me:

misty kitten drinks
cesspool sleeping snowdrifts choke
abattoirs sleeping
