You can use a pen
But a pencil is uselesse
So i use a pen

First of all, welcome to Haiku Land, Arceus12! Thank you for posting your haiku here. As a haiku enthusiast, I'm going to critique your haiku and you see what you think.
I would try rewriting the haiku like this:

[b]One can use a pen,
since a pencil is useless.
Therefore, I use pens.[/]

I changed your first line 'you' to 'one' because that way the perspective doesn't change. I added a comma at the end to sort of join it to the second sentence. I changed 'but' to 'since' because you're saying one can use pens and pencils are useless. One of the ways to join those two ideas together and make sense would be to use a word like 'since'. You use 'but' when you're trying to compare characteristics of a single thing. Exemplis gratis: He's a great guy but he can be annoying sometimes.
I added a period at the end of the second sentence because it seems to end there.
I also changed the last line so that it wouldn't sound so repetitive. I hope this helps!

The water and the rain
Clouds with water
Which falls in the sea
But why do it rain?

I know a place
Where there are friendly people
Known as Haiku land

You're welcome! I love it when people are enthusiastic!
Thank you for your little tribute to Haiku Land! :D It's a young place, only been around about...well, almost two years actually! It had a rough start but it's thriving now. It's the only one of my threads that hasn't died yet or been kept alive by my constant posting to bump it up everyday. I'm really proud of it.

To keep going: pride.
We equal effort in all
striving to survive

Chewie the wookiee
was, indeed, soft and furry.
His fur got matted.

The Life of Yesterday
Keep moving, thou fool
you are no warrior  now
glory is long past

Brain is clear, no fog
Grab one. Cold. Now break the seal.
Embrace the numbness

Boom! Poetry in motion, fools.

Was..was that a compliment to something I wrote? Nah, can't be.

Now I feel all weird. XD
