 I looked up "haiku."
 I have been doing it wrong. 
Wikipedia...

 For proper haiku,
 One must reference nature.
 What is my nature?

 Hokku or haiku?
 One begins sacred writings.
 One prompts sacred thoughts.

 Form requires limits.
 Limitations require rules.
 Rules require breaking.

 Thoughtless action wastes.
 Actionless thought languishes. 
Thoughtfully go act.

So should I care or not? You make it so hard to choose. When I offer my strength, You chain my arms at my side. When I turn my back, You lure me with purpose and need.
