LOL It's pure awesome, but I feel kind of stupid in asking how I can make my own haikus.

Well, i took the thread off, but i can remake it if you wish, Here's the Rules of haiku (I'll put this on the thread too)
1) Haiku's must have three lines 2)They do not have to rhyme 3) instead of words or letters counted, syllables are counted instead 4a) If the haiku goes in a 5/7/5 form meaning that the first line has 5 syllables, the second has seven, and the third has five again it is called a Traditional Haiku 4b) If it is some other form like 3/4/5 or anything else, it is called a New Form (or Contemporary, Free form, free style, ect) Haiku 6) NEVER more than 18 syllables! 5) if you want to be really traditional (or kokku) there are two more rules -----It must include a Nature or seasonal subject word (Kigo) -----It must have a caesura ( : ; , ... . ) to create a break 7) You'll never be perfect, so don't worry
ex: I Have a cake (4) It is chocolate... (5) Yuck, I hate chocolate! (6) (4/5/6 Contemporary)
ex: Everything is gone; (5) Your life's work has been destroyed. (7) Squeeze trigger (ja/nein)? (5) — David Carlson (5/7/5 more Traditional)

Thanks for posting this guide; hilariously off-topic? Yes, but, meh, it answered a question I've been wanting to know for some time ;D
