A Japanese lyric verse form having three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables, traditionally invoking an aspect of nature or the seasons.

So, here goes:

    I would recommend the Beavis and Butthead episode in which their hippie teacher gives a Haiku lesson as a good tutorial.

    I wrote one, once. See if you can determine the inspiration.

    Crested Butte Haiku (the pot makes you high, when you smoke it)

    Trails, powder dusted
    Buds, all crystal-encrusted
    Soothe my savage soul
