Thoughts On Haiku

Tell me what to do,
I can’t seem to write Haiku.
I have more syllables than these,
I’d never make a good Japanese.
What to do with Haiku? I am though.

Ha-ha! Yes, I've been in the same position! My tip is to start writing and see which form it fits: Haiku, Dodoitsu, Tanka etc. A witty write.

Can I echo the sentiment? I'm in tune with you.
