Hahaha!  Yeah, it kinda lost something in translation.  It didn't help that 
when the list automatically stripped out the rich text, it squashed it all 
together, making it almost impossible to read.  Sorry about that.  Here's the 
simple rule...

Three lines.

First line 5 syllables.
Second line 7 syllables.
Third line 5 syllables. 

The "classic" haiku has some mention of a season.  I prefer to ignore that, 
and use any darn subject I like.  Lately, that's puppy.  Maybe because I 
have a new puppy, and she is currently occupying all my time.

puppy, puppy dog (5)
occupying all my time (7)
making me happy (5)

See?  Easy-peasie.  :)
