I suck at haiku. I'm never any good at writing it, plus I read it really stilted and count all they syllables.

{Thank you Nilly and Cindy}

And thanks to everyone else for not publicly laughing at my silly haiku.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

The syllable rule isn't hard and fast. But what a haiku should have is an unexpected half-twist at the end. It can have four-eight-five, or seven-four-six, but it should 'haiku.' I know it when I read it, but writing it is harder than you'd think.

Yes! That's the half-twist! Thank you, Jon.
