The How To on Haikus (Meta-Ku) by <Wankster>

seven syllables on the second line but five on the first and last congratulations! you've mastered the haiku poem now get out of here

Don't get me wrong, I think its perfectly fine to have a haiku with 8 or whatever syllable counts.

Generally its a short/long/short kinda thing, and most folks bristle at anything other than 5 7 5, possibly accepting 3 5 3.
