(On the off chance anyone doesn't know, a haiku is a non-rhyming poem with a 5/7/5 metric, always about a specific topic, like so)

Our heroine slumps,
eyes drooping, parfait untouched
Arika, get well

(Bonus points if you do one in Japanese)
Japanese:
次話なし
鶴首して待つ
三日までよ

Romanji:
tsugi hanashi
kakushushitematsu
mikkai made yo

English Translation:
The next episode
I am waiting expectantly
Three days left

(The next episode crane neck doing, three days which it waits still)
Sounds like a poem tho

and the Ramnaji on mada its more proper to say Made

you uselly use mada when you start a sentence just wanted to tell you.

Well, each line has a required amount of syllables. For example, the first line requires five (Our-her-o-ine-slumps). So 'five seven five' metric means the first line needs five syllables, the second needs seven, and the third needs five.

Sounds like a poem tho

Well, that's a relief. It is a poem. Not a very good one, but I digress.

Whoops. I always get those confused... fixed it.

I don't know how strict the 5-7-5 format should be, so I've quite taken a few liberties here, with 「ん」 and 「ない」 counted as one syllable here.
