The rules: a haiku “is a form of Japanese poetry, consisting of 17 moras, in three metrical phrases of 5, 7, and 5 moras respectively.” I think it’s legitimate for the sake of simplicity to translate “moras” with “syllables.” A reference to a season or nature is a bonus.

A crude example, my Japanese readers may forgive me:

Show us the studies /
says hixie, experts shout fail. /
It’s about people.

And another:

For assistive tech /
canvas is invisible /
like tears in the rain.

So here is my challenge: twitter a haiku about HTML 5 and tag it with #html5haiku. There aren’t any prizes yet apart from the innocent fun of participation, but perhaps somebody would like to donate something?
