Sry I forgot my haiku,

The fruit-filled branches,
Holding me from my demise,
I check the branch, snap.

Total randomness

The fruit tree grows fruit,
But what is that in the ground?
Oh, its a carrot

Like it? :p

Owen, that was so random.

Fluffy, I'm glad you entered again. Your last haiku was great, but it didnt meet the sylabul requirements, so you got DQ'd. Or you would have placed m8.

Well, you got the syllables and lines right. That's definitely a plus in your favor. My first haiku went more along the lines of
"The leaves fell to the ground and went plop"
And I thought that was a haiku. Ok, that's exaggerated, but still.

Pretty good, although it's a bit difficult to tell it's about an apple tree. But other than that, very good. Nature-related, and that's always a big element of master haikus.

You might want to structure your haiku like this:

He sold her apples,
and built a home from her wood...
now sits on her stump.

Nice btw :P
