What little I've seen of it doesn't impress me either.

Yes, those are all haiku; a three sentence poem with the first line consisting of five syllables; the second. seven; and the third, five.
You don't see the humor in these? I especially like "Sandwich". LMAO. Right on! Kay Huff rocks!
Poetry doesn't have to make sense to anyone but the writer. Funny I don't write it; my writing rarely making sense to anyone but me.
Hhmm...playing with words and this Haiku business might be fun....let's see....

Pigeons on a ledge,
singing to me from above.

And what would follow stealing peanuts from the flight attendant?
She eats the peanuts.
Crunchy; annoyingly so.
A high chew haiku.

It blows its whistle shrilly.

Now I will leave this forum in peace forevermore.

Her tears splash his face
And rouse him from the darkness
Of permanent sleep

I found these on a website, and though there is no author listed, they seem to be written by Linda Fox. They made me laugh - all are so true. Cat Haiku You never feed me. Perhaps I'll sleep on your face. That will sure show you. You must scratch me there! Yes, above my tail! Behold, elevator butt. The rule for today Touch my tail, I shred your hand. New rule tomorrow. In deep sleep hear sound cat vomit hairball somewhere will find in morning. Grace personified. I leap into the window. I meant to do that. Blur of motion, then- silence, me, a paper bag. What is so funny? You're always typing. Well, let's see you ignore my sitting on your hands. My small cardboard box. You cannot see me if I can just hide my head. Terrible battle. I fought for hours. Come and see! What's a 'term paper'? Small brave carnivores Kill pine cones and mosquitoes Fear vacuum cleaner I want to be close to you. Can I fit my head inside your armpit? Wanna go outside. Oh, crap! Help! I got outside! Let me back inside! Oh no! Big One has been trapped by newspaper! Cat to the rescue! Humans are so strange. Mine lies still in bed, then screams My claws are not that sharp. Cats meow out of angst "Thumbs! If only we had thumbs! We could break so much!" The Big Ones snore now Every room is dark and cold Time for "Cup Hockey" |

In highschool we had to do some Haiku's, here are two I found from my books (I've been going back over my poetry books because now I am suddenly into poetry)...
Calm madman ascends
Jabbing unchained pigeons red
Angels jutting clear
