Haiku-poems consist of respectively 5, 7 and 5 syllables in three units. In japanese, this convention is a must, but in english, which has variation in the length of syllables, this can sometimes be difficult.

Reportedspame is having a hard time of it. You must lose the things that set of the trip wires here. So don’t swear or make abusive replies.
