Not to be nitpicking but following 5,7,5 is a must when writing HAIKU, which BTW is actually 3syllables. An often overlooked aspect of Haiku is that it usually involves some aspect of nature or the seasons.

Been online since noon
Solved my tenth case at midnight
Hours wasted? NO!

Client locked his doors
Broke in and found diary
Waste of several clicks.

Then I can count to seven
Where did I lose six?
