This is not a Haiku;
it has too many syllables,
and doesn’t rhyme at all;
then there is the matter of the long fourth line,
and the short fifth.
This is not a Haiku;
and anybody who says it is…
… see above.

This is not a Haiku,
even though it does have
the word Haiku in its title,
and also in lines 1, 3,
8, and 9;
but, surely, you can see,
by its structure
that it is not a Haiku.
A Haiku is short –
much shorter than this poem –
and has fewer lines.
With just a first line
and a second, but no third.
I am no Haiku;
I might look like one,
but I assure you, I’m not.
For plant-based food, that hits the spot,
try Kind in Looe, you’ll like what they’ve got.

A Haiku is a funny thing;
with its syllable count
and its three lines
of poetry
sticking to a strict format.
Not a Haiku;
brcause:
because it has
too many syllables,
too many lines
and too many ‘too manys!’
A Lune Poem is…
very short,
very short indeed.
Not-a-haiku (5-5-9)
You can’t understand
The prospect of land
When you’ve been all at sea for so long.
I could lend a hand
With projects you planned
If, one day, your life-raft reaches me.
As time you have spanned
Made your body so tanned
And, you, a stranger in your outlook.
And when you are scanned
In constant demand
Will you still be the same as you were?
Or will you just fade
In the leafy glade
Where all the branch-falls end as worm-food
When all is said, done;
Is victory won;
Or is just participation all?
—-
Five, five, nine your syllables, with nineteen lines, this being the last one of them.
