It is difficult to compose a good layout when writing a haiku.  It is very natural that you want to divide the work into three parts according to the poem’s composition.  However, doing so will just make a pretty lame and poor-taste piece.  Because as a general rule, haiku’s have only seventeen syllables, it is very difficult to figure out a good layout.

俳句を書くのは難しいです。つい三つのパートごとに三行に書きたくなってしまいますが、それではダサくて良くありません。普通は十七音しかないので散らしが難しいのです。
