Awesome piece, though it's technically senry, as it doesn't deal with season. I still loved it though. c:

Haiku doesn't usually impress me, but I enjoyed this. Definitely made me laugh.

I honestly laughed out loud. XD
That was really great. I'm no expert on haiku, so I couldn't point out anything wrong with it.
Haiku is, to me, a rather difficult form of poetry, and I find it hard to write.
You, however, made it plain and clear that anyone can if they really want to (even if they aren't Japanese) XD

Keep writing!

Very good. Cleverly done. Like others i dont think it is a dramatic poem but i loved it.
One point though

Hey . . . wait a second


It is more difficult to tell the number of syllables in this line due to the ellipsis. I would remove it.

I would love to read more of your poems...

hehehehe.. This Haiku made me laugh.. I have some advice for you though.

Do not do ...'s while haiku. It sends the wrong message to readers that the dot dot dot's may be different syllables, and that the last line may have too many.

Other then that, thanks for the hilarious read!!! I loved this poem!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I wish you the best of luck in figuring out how to write haiku. I know it is hard, when you have the round eyes, but keep trying at it, and some day you'll get it down. Maybe you could dye your hair and squint a lot, or learn some martial arts... eat with chopsticks... if you mispronounce your Rs for long enough you're sure to get it...

I really like this poem. The last line was my favorite. And (just guessing) it fits into dramatic poetry because it is so un-dramatic?

And then, as if written by the hand of a bad novelist, an incredible thing happened.
