    These are all just runs...the first three are 5-7-5...but i didn't want that anymore...this is American Haiku (for jack)...give me what these are worth...

    *********************************************
    and I've come to this
    sweet pill you and I tonight
    must wonder further

    5:23 sunday
    Luke is sleeping at my side
    and I think of him

    yea yea yea maybe
    yeah yeah why not go for it
    yeah it's already gone

    up suddenly at 5am
    hold your mouth
    and run to the trash can!

    mine isn't like yours Jack
    No beauty in this
    nope, not like yours...

    Sun on my wednesday shades
    my walk is slow; casual
    and I can't see where I'm going

    my eyes jump to you
    oh blond magician
    and I can't figure out your spells

    There's sun on this morning
    more syrup on my pancakes mother
    ...couldn't get any better!

    eruption!
    smooth exit of gas...
    and it doesn't smell too good

    gods crash down
    rain falls
    and I love you

    i like the first except the last line uses the word "wonder" where you may mean "wander" - which is it?.....
    the luke one was funny but that's it....

    "my eyes jump to you..." -- good..good, you had movement (action) and you had simple description that hits it well. "oh blonde magician"

    the "sun on my wednesday shades..." one was a good decription but the ending could be worded better....

    i like where you're going.
    you hit and miss but when you hit, you hit well.

    If i knew how to critique this i would, but i dont really think to much of Haiku's or whatever. I liked your wording at the begining though. sorry, if i could follow haiku's better, i would critique more, but i cant sorry man, - Zeik
