for example, Liz Taylor's quote, "Michael Jackson is the most normal man I have ever met", could be rewritten in haiku form as

a more normal man
than my friend Wacko Jacko
I have never met

Oh, surely someone can come up with some Stones-related haiku?

The best guitarist
The Rolling Stones ever had
was Mick Taylor. YES!

There ya go, that's the spirit!

Blues, rhythm and rock,
blended, taken to the top;
the world's still in shock.

season word is important for haiku.
I like this one:

the age of internet-
worldwide encouragement
warmer than spring

by haiku poet, Shijuku Rollingstone

Aha, seasonwords...

winter spring summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there

My Telecaster
Roars loudly through a twin amp
I am Keith Richards

Yes! Nice job.

(That's not my Haiku by the way - I'm still waiting for inspiration)

When the curtain falls
And the last chord has rung out
There will always be - The Stones

Winter in Chelsea
TWo sets of frozen fingers
Learn to weave music

Mick and Keith are boys
Two teens waiting for a train
The Rolling Stones born

Rape Murder, it's just
a shot away, it's just a
shot away yeah yeah

As Toru-san mentions, a haiku must make a seasonal reference as we as having the 5-7-5 syllable structure. Otherwise what you have is senryu, which tends to be satirical in nature. With that thought in mind, here is my offering, with no slight intended against Mr. Wood...

Taylor Senryu:

Singing vibrato
Soaring, melodic guitar
Ron would if he could...

ok, I've gone for seasonal AND stones reference...

Winter fades away
So, can you hear the music
As the rain falls down?

42C Heat
The Stones play in Budapest
Summertime is great.

White Stripes?
Not so great
Music better then

'White Stripes?
Not so great
Music better then'

Not a haiku or senryu. What do you call this?

I think it must be cryptic.Never could figure out those crosswords.Give me plain and simple anyday.

I didn't know about the season requirement, thanks for pointing that out.

Let's try again:

Waiting on a friend
In the cold, cold winter months
To bring me some warmth

It's frightening how many of you either cannot count or don't know what a syllable is. Or Both.

Carry on

watching the telly

heard a loud scream and a splash

left the loo seat up

Come on................put your money where your mouth is and 'ave a go.
