achebe - haiku is NOT about 575, it is an observation of the world in as few words as possible. I like to bring a little humor into them. thanks for counting , I never do.
My point, which should have been clear from my post, was that IF you were attempting haiku, you should observe, not comment, in your poem.
Otherwise, this is a haiku too:
She sells
Sea shells
On seashores.
