Haiku Battle

Each person has to post one and only one haiku each round. Sources are irrelevant, do not give anyone points based upon them. Spelling counts, but you can't vote for better grammar if my opponent uses punctuation, or does not capitalize the first letter of every line.

Lyrical magic
That's all that poetry is
Just think about it

A millenium
Since I wrote, but still I can.
Kill any of 'em.

Are you sure you want to keep this to just one haiku per round?

ONE PER ROUND. It's better that way.

Debate is an art
It is a special feeling
Proving others wrong

A verse stands alone
Tranquil Zen augmented through
Solidarity.

My opponent sucks
By luck and chance, he can count
I believe I win

Abstain from quarrels
Return to antebellum.
Cherry blossoms, calm.

Sorry about the last one. Because this is a battle, I needed at least one "slam" poem.

Cyclists riding fast
Through the Pyrenees and Alps
Swift and quick they are

Nature / Verbalism,
Arboreal logistics
The Haiku essence.

First of all, Nature [i]Slash[/i] Verbalism is 6 syllables. Second of all, verbalism is not a word.

I enjoy waffles
Elysian miracle
That is what they are

1. A "/" is not a word, nor is it a syllable.
1b. If you want to count it as a syllable, you might as well count commas as syllables.
2. There aren't syllable requirements. The most important part of a haiku is the seasonal word.
3. It doesn't matter if verbalism is a word. Its meaning is clear, anyway.

The onlookers cast
Votes for the contender, like
For fish in a stream.
