I don't really care for haiku all that much, but here are a few that I have written recently for the sake of expanding my poetic experience.
1) i don't like haiku
   being concise won't work with
   my verbosity
2) light it up, breathe in
   never to be free again
   nicotine shackles 
       (inspired by an anti-smoking drawing by a student at Alcorn Middle School)
3) smell of sweet salt air
   sounds of waves causing smiles
   uncontrollable
4) children in the streets
   calluses on soles and souls
   no shoes on small feet
5) first day of bright sun
   pale skin used to long sleeves
   white now painted red
