I am a chicken.
I'm not a howler and don't
teach children to read.

The first line must be five syllables, the second line must be seven syllables and the last line must be five syllables.

A simple haiku
can be simply written so,
yet most are complex.

Actually, there are differing opinions on that. Frankly, I can't lay them out right now, as I've only just started studying the form. But it's clear that many of the poets considered masters bent, or even dismissed that rule.

And not only this,
But really you must include,
Seasonal tidbits.

it would be spelled incorrectly if it was meant to say delicious in japanese. But seeing as it's not, and is a proper name, I suggest you do a little more research.

Enter the zen world
Enjoy calm, breathe summer air
