Oh no, wrong grammar!
It is "thou doest", not "thou doth".
Grammar Nazi out.

Shakespeare doth agree
With me, but not with you, lad.
"Thou doest" - "he / she doth".

I see a dichotomy here.

It appears some (most) are operating under the idea that Haiku is counted out in syllables of 5-7-5.

I was taught that Haiku is counted out in metrical feet in a 3-5-3 pattern. My one offering fits this model.

Thankfully, it appears that Haiku in English is so far from its roots that any attempts at "standardization" is laughable, bordering on the true "snobbery".
