Small Annoyances
I used to think that
 Haikus weren’t really that hard
 But I’ve changed my mind
 
 I used to think that
 All you had to do was write
 Poems about nature
 
 And I never knew
 That the whole syllable thing
 Is so annoying
 
 But now it bugs me
 Because I am trapped by all
 These rules about form
 
 Five syllables here
 And then only seven here
 Then five again here
 
 So just to rebel
 I’m going to put EIGHT syllables
 In that line. So there.
