The haiku's syllable count format is 5-7-5..
I counted 6 on your first line. Apart from that, I see no need for change and I liked the message in this poem.

Hi Alid

Nothing like showing my lack of ability to count lol. Try it now.........stan

I had to

hold one hand open so as to not lose count again lol.........stan

Stan

6 on first count(need to lose one beat)
the rest follows through and makes sense
interesting use of words

Hi Chrys

brevity stumps me
in writing things like Haiku
back to school I go

I thought you'll need to change the whole first line and maybe part of the second to maintain the message you wanted in a 5/7/5 haiku though I've seen haiku of different syllable count and we are not restricted by one in the workshop, I think.

Hi Rula

Since writing Haiku in English is almost impossible then the least I can do is follow the generally accepted syllable count. Edit now done.........stan

an excellent write imo

Not nature ... but haiku has opened a little and now is not always restricted to that...
I think this is very clever, and thought-provoking .... just what haiku is supposed to be, except it seems to be missing a good cutting line....

Hey Judy

Not Too bad for such a long winded guy who got Senryu mixed up with Haiku lol. Haste not only makes waste it also makes me stupid apparently .........stan
