(umm... the last five syllables here are "-py to be here now"... not sure how to proceed ... BTW, a haiku has lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables ... okay, it's just a game ... I'll go with ...)
Sorry wayfriend- I was just shooting for 17 syllables. Haiku's can be written in different ways. From haikuworld.com
Ten tips for writing haiku


Write in three lines of about 10 to 17 syllables (some writers use a short-long-short format, but sometimes it’s better to just say what you need to say and not worry about form); haiku are usually not 17 syllables long in English.

That said:

A worthy poem
touches the heart and the mind
I cannot write well
"We probably could have saved ourselves, but we were too damned lazy to try very hard... and too damn cheap." - Kurt Vonnegut

"Now if you remember all great paintings have an element of tragedy to them. Uh, for instance if you remember from last week, the unicorn was stuck on the aircraft carrier and couldn't get off. That was very sad. " - Kids in the Hall

I need to add a few syllables to make the first line 5... (haiku = 5-7-5)

Make my love sweet please
