Cosmo Super Dog
Falls thirty feet and is fine
Truly miracle

there is far more to haiku composition than somehow managing a 5/7/5 syllable count. far more. Basho's work is a good place to start if you are serious. a few of my favorites: it is unlike anything/they compare it to/ summer moon.

he wrote about Kyoto once: even in Kyoto/hearing the cuckoo's cry/I long for Kyoto.

I am pretty sure,
We aren't very serious,
We're just having fun.

This one is for you, shirnkboy:

"furuike ya kawazu tobikomu mizu no oto" (Basho 1686)

"old-pond: frog jump-in water's sound"

More Western translation:

"the old pond-
a frog jumps in,
water's sound"

And now a HK version

kermit & piggy
happy together jump in
pond's water splash splash
