Replying to a comment on:

On Haiku (Other) by heart

Insight captured in an ancient cadence, Common scene depicted lulls before the final turning. You will never see iambic haiku.

Surely you could have an iambic haiku (although not one in nice Shakespearean pentameters). Well, sort of. It could go like this:

Life is to short to
burn our boats. We sit and dream
of moats and views and.

Problem is you have an odd number of syllables, so you're always going to have an uncompleted foot at the end. Note this example uses only words of one syllable.
