Fiery the angel fell,
Deep thunder rolled along lee shores,
Burning with the fires of ork.

Fasting on a slice of melon,
The farmer's daughter weeps
maggots.

This one is titled:  High School Play Selection Process
Copyright 1999 by John H. Remmers

        No guys trying out,
        All much too busy with sports,
        "Twelve Angry Women".

And then we have:  Joke Haiku

        Horse walks into bar,
        The bartender asks the horse,
        "Hey, why the long face?"

Weird... for once in my life this is actually sort of interesting.

I don't like haiku,
No Japanophile am I,
What weird poetry.

Haiku is stupid.
Why does everyone write it?
I've never liked it.

  Talentless poets
  make fun of haiku form and
  think themselves clever.

Haiku is haiku.
Cannot you understand that?
Haiku is hiaku.

You shoulda substituted an appostrophe for the second syllable of "syllables":
I count six in that line. ;)

Haikus translated from other languages don't necessarily follow
the (5, 7, 5) pattern.  Then too, a Haiku must meet other requirements
besides number of syllables per line.  The two I posted probably
weren't genuine haiku, although the first is closer than the
second.
