    Don't you mean syllable instead of words? [and 5-7-5]

    I.e

    "Oh, Gordon Freeman,
    How I wish I could play you,
    Alas! Not as yet."

    instead of

    "Gordon Freeman is a dashing, awesome hero,
    Come to kill the aliens,
    He also has a really cool beard."

    Look at the timestamps. No need to get worked up, an honest mistake. Let's get to haiku-making.

    Unquestioningly,
    Jumping in the bandwagon,
    They aim for the throat.

    Edit: I forgot..
    I left out the word "jumping",
    And now I look dumb <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    This is not haiku.
    There are just five syllables
    in every line.

    You see? This is a horrible idea now. People are now just posting corrections to other peoples haikus, when the correction dosent even match haiku criteria anyway.
