Thanks Heidi - I wondered if it was too stupid to be funny.  Haiku is all in the syllables.  Usually 5-7-5, but can be 2-3-2 and I think there are other more lenient rules as well.  By general rule, you just need to cut a syllable from your third line.  You kind of need to roll the whole thing around in your mind like an M &amp; M until the coating melts and you get to the chocolate.  Hope I'm not coming off preachy. :-)
