This haiku is well-written and follows the traditional 5-7-5 syllable pattern. You used a metaphor of a carriage to describe the haiku as a form of poetry that is elegant but concise. The haiku also has a sense of humor and irony, as it implies that the haiku is not suitable for longer or more complex topics. The haiku is simple but effective and captures the essence of the genre.
Hello! Ley here <3
Firstly, let me just say this is the first piece I've read from you and it's simplistic yet is a play on words. I saw nothing wrong with this poem, except the punctuation! This is just a suggestion, but you could either:
Greetings Poet!
Beyond my beloved horizon, I'm setting sail into uncharted pages with an itch for adventure. Through binoculars, I spy with my little eye an intriguing haiku titled “The Haiku's Predicament” that deserves a good review. So without further ado, let’s begin.
Very first of all, I must say that I quite enjoyed reading this haiku of yours. I never really knew that there was such a thing like a haiku, until I joined YWS.
Your haiku poem appears to be about the nature of a haiku poem itself. You humorously portray the limitations of a haiku poem, which consists of three lines with a specific syllable pattern.
Your poem follows the traditional haiku structure with three lines, adhering to the 5-7-5 syllable pattern. The poem described the haiku as being "in her carriage so refined" for short distances, highlighting how haikus are extremely short and are only focused on a single moment or feeling in a very brief manner
The poem uses metaphor to personify the haiku as a rider in a refined carriage. This metaphorical imagery emphasises the elegance of a haiku despite its brevity.
There's a touch of humor in the poem, particularly in the phrase "for short distances." This humor arises from the irony that haikus are indeed very short and they capture moments or images within a small amount of words.
Everything in all and all in everything, you've written a lovely haiku that can be a bit difficult to understand until you've read it so many times to actually start memorise it. Keep on doing what you do and good luck with your future writing projects!
With writer’s love,
Rose
Hiya! This is Orabella here to leave you a short review!
This is by far the shortest work I've ever read. Which is to be expected because, well, it's a haiku. To be honest, I don't understand haikus very much, as well as poetry in general. I feel like the writer knows more about it than I can even begin to understand, so be warned that I don't know what I'm talking about.
So, let me know if I got this wrong, but this haiku is about a haiku metaphorically. The "short distances" refers to how short this kind of poem is. The carriage is so important that it's described as refined, which is often how I think of haikus.
Could you tell me the meaning behind this? I think I'm not quite getting it.
Although I do not understand most poetry, I love it, and this piece is no exception. Please keep writing!
Haya! This is loveissourgrapes and I am here to comment/review about your poem. I love that it is short, clever and sweet. The description of this poem is also good. I also noticed that you were the one who wrote the Incorrect Ballad. I love that! I love this poem too. I mean of course, it's about chickens. hehehehe
There rides the haiku,
in her carriage so refined-
for short distances.
A clever poem! I like the dash in the second line and how it abruptly cuts off the poem, only to deliver the 'punchline' which is that the "carriage" is only for short distances. It lends plenty of needed emphasis to the last line. I'm not sure where the 'Chickens' come in, but maybe you had to cut them out to fit the 5-7-5 syllable structure 
Keep writing!
