So, I understood there are several other rules for haikus: * Refer to a season in the first two lines * Have the first/second line present an idea that complements or contrasts with the third line
So here's my attempt at a self-referential haiku:
When leaves are falling Describe them -- five-seven-five: Haiku on nature
Feet of Cambreadth ttto March of Cambreadth, Heather Alexander a self-referential teaching instafilk thnidu Copyright 2001
First three beats, then a break, three again, a line to make. Seven more-- keep the time!-- this line with the first must rhyme. Thrice again these repeat: make eight lines of marching feet. Two more beats (ask not why) squeeze into the last line, do or die!
