Heating Haiku?

in THE MAIN WALL
Up for some Japanese poetry?



Haiku is non-rhyming and has only three lines. The first line must have five syllables, the second must have seven syllables, and the third line must again have five syllables.



Here's mine:



<em>Not pumping away

Air stays in radiators

Come out. Come out. </em>No!



Your turn.
