	“	A haiku is just like a normal American poem except it doesn't rhyme and it's totally stupid.	„
	—Mr Garrison

Haiku (俳句) is a fucking stupid form of Japanese, consisting of 17 moras, in three phrases of 5, 7, and 5 moras respectively. In Japanese, every letter of the alphabet is a single syllable, hence the emergence of syllable-play as an art form. This means that the only reason to ever, ever, ever, EVER write a haiku in English is as a desperate attempt to be arty and Wapanese inbetween cursing the roundness of your eyes and shoving Pocky down your urethra.

Examples below:

I hate you fuckers.
Why so angry? Cause I am.
I fuckin' you guys.

Sick on a journey 
Over parched fields 
Dreams wander on.

Lightening
Heron's cry 
Stabs the darkness

Dead bitches don't scream.
A cold tight cunt makes me hot.
Mortician school rocks!

Don't count the syllables, you fucktard, they are translated.

And now the original:

ですですで
ですですですで
ですですで

(Translation)

Desu desu de
Desu desu desu de
desu desu de.
