Haiku threads do rock!
You don't need any content,
just play with the words.

Soggy, springy ground
Unheeded by feet in boots
Approaching horses

early evening shadow
sneaks low across the valley—

trying to catch the heron
in the creekbed unawares?

Could someone please remind me of the rules governing a haiku, in haiku format.... I'd google it, but it'd be nice to have them in the thread.....

As far as I understand the popular form is (and just for you here it is in haiku format):

haiku: a poem
just seventeen syllables
penned: five, seven, five
