Show me your best.
Haikus are short of course.  So write one.  Or a succession and somewhere along the way, it will also involve that murder mystery.

Miss understood the instruction, i thought this was per syllable for some reason.
Good luck

So the sum of your haikus is twelve lines.....with hope that they all connect in spirit....

She is cruel

If he died in pain
It would be best for them both
Winter is for joy.

The Art Of Alternative Perspectives

mystery written
in so much blood ~ body lay
grotesquely still

no obvious sign
of a murder weapon ~ or
a solid motive

so many questions
not enough answers ~ no clear
clues to the event

what we need ~ is a
different eye on the case
come on columbo.

Murderer's Haiku

I stare at the blood
It drips, drips off of my hands
It wasn't my fault

I couldn't help it
He warped me till I just snapped
He made me do it

They will not find me
I'll burn down his fucking house
It's time to run now

First I feed the dog
He's such a sweet little boy
Now I must clean up

Riders on the Storm 2.0


Lost highway darkness
Concealment of a stranger  
Walking randomly  
 
Talking randomly  
Dire silence of twisting thoughts
Rational madness
 
Oblivion thirst
Transformation in layers
Footsteps across voids
 
Black breeze of alone
Lycanthropy heart turns black
Maggot brain turns black

Disappearance ? (senryu)

The jealous knife strikes
life ebbs, now to hide the body
in Ukraine's battle grounds
