This might be my favorite seven syllable line, written by Danielle LaPorte in her book Desire Map.

Ode to the Haiku Haikus

Five, seven and five
syllables, my fingers count
tap in the shower

hoped for conclusion-
everyone sighs at the end
rather ahhhhs, and smiles

some people hate them
silly or too pretentious
not all like lilacs

attention disorder balm
only three lines to attend
swift meaning making

you could tattoo one
brevity sometimes welcome
like a single kiss

mystery matter
embrace subtly revealed
the moon when darkened

like gathered beach glass
not every line is worthy
a few shine with time

haiku means first verse
we size one another up
in seconds, much missed

nature is subject
and present tenses preferred
today there is sun

mistakes in haikus
one syllable too many
excess allowed here

metaphors teach us
we are much more similar
rain and steam and snow

my favorite poem
is one I haven’t yet read
it waits like green spring

written or spoken
life can change with even one word
ancient or today
