I may throw some more of these around from time to time.
1/.
Forgive me Father
Six months since my last Haiku
Poetry penance
2/.
Prose takes over mind
Verse pushed to the back burner
Boiling mad Muse
3/.
Karmic Balance flaw
Was I Hitler in past life
To endure this one?
4/.
Mylot, Yourlot, ours
Plenty to go round for all
We shall all excel.

@Jessicalynnt you can break the rules and write haiku that rhyme
At the loud library
There's so much cacophony
Needing symphony

@arthurchappell If you say so, the structure is too limiting for me, I cant say what I want in something that short, and the lack of rhyme annoys me, lol. Now a limerick....

probably the best place and time to start - I was at University before I heard of them.

give them a go, see what you come up with - three lines, 5,7 and 5 syllables each - that's the basics. Strictly speaking Haiku should refer to one of the four seasons but mine often don't.
