Man ends planet—quick,
Dinos last millions of years,
Birds are dinosaurs.

People get mad at me when I critique their haiku, yet I do it anyway.&nbsp;&nbsp;Forgive me if I do so without being asked to.&nbsp;&nbsp;

It's very hard to squeeze a complex concept into 3 lines with 17 syllables, even harder in the English language haiku which has 7 to 10 syllables.&nbsp;&nbsp;Haiku was never meant for that, which is why it's so misunderstood, and why it's the most difficult form of poetry to write.

Haiku in a nutshell:
---------------------------
If you were to take a Polaroid snapshot of a moment in time, what would that picture show?

Here's an excellent source for haiku:

You've made a good effort, and are most likely a beginner.&nbsp;&nbsp;All beginners do the same thing, until they study haiku and see how different it is.&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm one of them. LOL

But this haiku has potential, and I'd love to see where you can go with it after reading about the techniques of haiku as explained by Jane Recihold, who is a world-renowned poet of haiku and tanka.

We survived three extinction events, without UV lamps, hydroponics, concrete, and Mylar food containers. We are not going anywhere soon, my fatalistic friend.
