A Haiku is a
Type of poem that uses
Syllables in it

Though it is rather
Difficult to explain them
Using a haiku

I think there was a contest a while ago. I don't know if there's another one planned anytime soon, though...

Haha, nice work Kamalia. :)

bluddy, a haiku is a poem that has to follow the syllabic pattern Kamalia's poems did: 17 syllables ordered as 5/7/5. There's more info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku

My favourite (so far):
Haikus are easy
But sometimes they don't make sense

It's on a threadless shirt. ;)
