Haiku

After studying haiku in depth, I'm not sure I fully understand them, and I'm an English major in a graduate program. For being seventeen syllables or less, they sometimes take more work to decipher than Eliot's work (The Wasteland and The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock). My assignment on haiku received more points than my last assignment and I thought the haiku one was bad. See what I mean?

Anybody that comes here: leave a haiku in the comments. Write a haiku on your blog. We all can write these.

Here's mine:

Clock chimes three
My work is only
halfway done.
