Out just two minutes,

I'm drenched and need a shower,

It's Summer here in Texas.

But your "haiku" has
five, eight and seven units,
so not a haiku

You should not rush it
rather take your time, slowly
and do proper work

The strenght of haiku:
It needs strict syllable count
but needs no rhyming.

The weekness of it:
It needs strict syllable count
but needs no rhyming.
I should be ashamed
of myself because I am
counting with fingers.

hmm
I hear voices now,
but there's nobody here with me,
darkness, black shadows
The voices are here.
You say that we are alone
But we never are.

Look all around us.
You can't see anything here
Yet you know better.
It's sale time again
We buy, therefore we matter
We'll all be devoured.
I want to be cool.
I can’t be me ‘coz I suck.
Maybe I’ll learn life.
"Damnation!", he says,
"No donation", then implies,

amok: you need to learn, now
the structure of haiku
this is incorrect
no, it is not
haiku poems don't have to use
a 5-7-5 syllable pattern or even 3 lines
do you also ask seasonal words too?

also, technically, without seasonal words,
what you most write
is a senryu not a haiku

5-7-5 pattern is a popular misconception
don't force anyone who don't use it

read about haiku first

I ponder the serious
I cast away the nonsense
I am left bereft

my feather stumbles
black ichor dripping viscous
I pen my response

While a game is played
Rules must be agreed upon
While spirit must nod

five seven five please
even if it's nothing more
than joy we've left penned
Never mind. I shall write no more since the OP says "five seven five please".

Beware of chaos,
Those who scorn all rules and laws -
They do not know peace.
