Just in case some people need a little more info, the definition of a "Hai ku" is:

Haiku is a Japanese structure poem format. It consists of three lines with five, then seven, then five syllables. Generally, they are meant to be expressions of sensation (usually of nature). That is, something you saw, or smell. Like little poetry photographs.

Of course, the contest for TraderPup's party was for a "Mai-Taiku"...just a fun twist in the name but with the same requirements for the poem.
