a haiku for Pluto

I do not feel that
I have lost a planet but
Gained a planetoid
All Pluto haikus welcome here.

Pluto is the rose
by any other name; a god
become second string

Okay, so you get my bad off-the-cuff poem for the day. :)

And yes, the meter is slightly off. Oh well, what do ya expect for about ten seconds of thought?

Does meter even matter for haiku?

Yep, for 3-line haiku, 5-7-5. There's more than one version, though. I don't know the rules. I stick to free verse so I conveniently forgot all the structures for sonnets, haiku, and the zillion other styles of poetry once I got through that college course. I bet it's on the web somewhere, though! ;)

Oh the syllable count, right. Wasn't sure if that counted as meter.

I'm not much of a poet, if you can't tell.
