Difficult homework

Most of these are not
even real haikus, and of course,
neither is this one.
Real haikus have more
rules than numbers of syllables.
Read these paragraphs:
A haiku must be literal. Haikus must not use metaphors. They must use as precise language as possible. Say what you mean to say in the LEAST amount of syllables.
A haiku describes the relationship between TWO objects. A pen on top of a piece of paper. A CD in a CD player. A bird in the sky.
It must describe a MOMENT IN TIME. Time does not pass in a haiku. Things aren't doing stuff.
No straying from the topic. Describe your subjects and their relationship. Nothing more.
There are more rules, but I'm tired. Not to try to limit what you guys are doing or anything. Simple syllable haikus are fun even if they aren't, by definition, real haikus. This is all just FYI.
Oh, and no persuading the audience. Haikus are unbiased. No feeling words. In general, don't use words such as "ugly", "annoying", or "expensive"... instead, use words like, maybe, "misshapen", "loud", or "fifteen dollars" respectively.
C is for Charisma, it's why people think I'm great! I make my friends all laugh and smile and never want to hate!
