watching you fail in your quest for a “one watch” has been great entertainment

Drew. Would you mind editing your starter post to explain what a haiku is, please. I will look it up on line, but it would be good to have it explained at the top of the thread. I don't think it's there.
Is it just 17 syllables as described, it is there more to it?

It’s acceptable
Each line scans just as it should
That is a good one
