Goddamit. This form is too limiting for my artistic sensibilities.

Been to Limerick.
The best part about it was
going somewhere else

Haiku has officially a 5-7-5 syllable structure in English.

Haiku's magic.
Haiku's done five-seven-five
or otherwise.

Even Basho the old Japanese haiku master broke the rules of form when it was required.  

Senryu is a form of haiku with a more human touch than traditional haiku. Haiku is an acquired taste.  I acquired it as soon as I saw it for the first time.  It is a poetic expression with endless possibilities like humanism.  I love it as I love humanism.

Ummmm....is four the new five?

four is the new five

math is very hard

There was a young man of Tralee
Who was stung on the neck by a wasp
When asked "Did it hurt?"
He replied "Not at all,
It can do it again if it likes."
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

A poster with haiku doth start
And claims it's a humanist art
but rhyming's good too
from my point of view
All art then is humanist art

Actually, that is not far off the mark from what I think.

A Limerick

F is for fruit.
Fruit rhymes with brute.
Limericks are tricky.
Limericks are syrupy.
A good limerick's a beaut.
