Haikus are fun
But sometimes they don't make sense

guest 2: most people follow the 3 line, 5-7-5 syllable form of haiku

You should do one with limericks!

Hey Peter (aka Guest #3), you aren't providing the most accurate example of a haiku. Yours is 4-7-5 (Haikus are fun is 4 syllables)!

I am so sorry
Maybe you should try again
That xbox is mine!

The Japanese standards are more exacting, but english speakers have created a number of haiku permutations with different numbers of syllables and line placements. Thus, poems with a 5-7-5, 3-6-3, or 5-5-7 syllable arrangement are also considered "haiku". So don't be afraid to play with the form a little!
