I never got how to do Haiku's, even though we did go over them at school.
The verse has three lines.
It goes by five seven five
syllables per line.

Five go in the first.
Seven are in the second.
Finish up with five.

It deals with nature.
But I do appreciate
Language's nature.

I smell blossoms now.
But I never could before.
This makes me happy.

Oh, grape hyacinth!
Had you told me of your smell,
I'd have never smoked.

Share now your perfume,
and return me to childhood.
Oh, my wasted years.

Spring bring upon me
the bounty of your perfumes
enjoyed in the warmth.

Spent cherry blossoms.
You've gone away already,
but changed me this year.

I've much enjoyed spring.
But your body odor has
made me curse my nose.
