How do I make a Haiku?

A haiku is a short poem, usually about nature. But here's the tricky part: It's only three lines, and there have to be a certain amount of syllables in each one. Five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five again in the third.

For example:
I hear wind outside (5 syllables)
The day is long and pretty (7 syllables)
The clouds are clearing (5 syllables)

This is my haiku.
It is very interesting.
It's about DL.

Here's my real one...

The moonlight shone bright.
It was time, what stopped me... gone.
Should I help vampires?

[Jugernugetx]

When vamps see the light,
They need their great beverage,
Blood, vamps pride and shine.



Dunno lol. Nice contest though!

Watch out for the sun,
From which you might need to run,
For you are the one.

idk but gl everyone

[Lady_Pebbles]

Considering the notoriously epic fail of the Eli Holden issue, I created this haiku in his honor...

Eli Holden
Hunting the hunter,
exists just in mind,
playing hide and seek.

Lmao... Sorry couldn't help myself but yes that is my entry until futher notice. XD

Bound by eternal life,
The blood crosses their seances,
Which they only pursue at night.

[Flowman]

Not entering...but I couldn't help myself. Sorry Devs

"Eli Holden works,
We swear its all programmed right.
L O L, J K."


Letters are meant to be read as the actual letters...so 5 letters = 5 words.

[Floating]

Finding a river
Having a picnic
With my family

[Mrsberry]

Good luck guys!
May the odds be ever in your favor.
Let the games begin!

[Garzoth]

Drinking lots of blood
Getting the best gear you can
Hiding from the sun

[undertheradar]

Blood shines in the light
Plagued with intense desire
He strikes at sunset
