What about the content of the lines? How are they supposed to relate to each other?
To: lady lawyer
Just let your creative juices flow and see what comes out. :-)

What about the content of the lines? How are they supposed to relate to each other? From Wikipedia:
Haiku is a very short poetic form. Traditional Japanese haiku consisted of three lines of 5, 7, and 5 units each, which are generally applied as syllables, and contained a special word—the kigo—that indicated the season in which the haiku was set. Some consider that a haiku must also combine two different images, be written in present tense, have a focus on description and have a pause (the kireji or "cutting word") at the end of either the first or second line. All such rules are somewhat arbitrary and are habitually broken by most poets, especially when adapted for languages other than Japanese.</blockquote

Good men used to sweat in fear
Of attack by a Dan Rather smear
But along came the Net
Now it's a sure bet
That the truth will then become clear!

Number 45 is great, isn't it?

An old typewriter
Could have been faked if Rather
Had used courier.
If Poe could see this
He'd write the Purloined Memo
And the Telltale Font
A good counterfeit
Would have hurt Bush's campaign
But this hurts Kerry.

Raging limerick
headache must be confronted
with a limerick
A sneaky news-anchor named Dan
Came up with a devious plan
He plotted to go
With memos that were faux;
But faux memos are "no go's" for Dan ...
