Haiku is all the rage now. It's a traditional word discipline, started in Japan, where the writer creates short poems. A haiku has 17 syllables in three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables.

If you're serious about learning, here's a how-to guide.
Now here's where it gets fun. Could you write a postal-themed haiku?
Remember this structure:

7 on the second
5 on the third

Amazing how far it goes

Some of these are very good, even if not all follow the true Haiku rules.
