Failed

This one I couldn't get right. Too many elements in one haiku:

Phone ringing!
He can't find the pockets
in his Spiderman costume.


This one is particularly terrible:

Frantic, he
searches for his phone
in his Spiderman costume.



Lecture hall:
He can't find his phone
in his Spiderman costume.


Phone ringing in class!
Where are the pockets
in this Spiderman costume?

Titles are NOT cheating - giving context is not the same a shoe-horning in extra content.

I think it's possible to cheat with a title of a haiku, but as a rule, I don't think it's cheating.

Also, in the actual Jap shit, it's usually embedded in a travelogue. So, whatever.

It's not like there are any fucking rules. David.

Still - there's the difference between the context and the image. I could provide a context for the image - but the image is still too much... stuff for a haiku.

Failure.
