Here's my attempt after reading the article:

Unconventional, but effective IMO. You definitely brought me into the moment with you.

I rather like your haiku as well. In particular I enjoy how the second and third line can be read together and apart. It seems to reinforce the disappointment of finding your laundry in such a state.

  hey I didn't know
  about the syllables thing—
  what else don't I know?

Soft but clear In my head and heart Your voice lives
Unbeliever69 

  flaming tongues of ire
  whisper evil melodies
  through the stony pyre
devish
Here I come, In the sand, holding your hand, where no time remains.

I've always been a fan of the Limerick. There's just something about a well-written Limerick, it's like a Haiku, except funny and (usually) crass.

Asimov (the very same sci fi writer) compiled several books of them. Example below:

  There was a sweet girl of Decatur
  
  Who went to sea on a freighter.
  
    She was screwed by the master
  
    -An utter disaster-
  
  But the crew all made up for it later.

I saw the title and expected something about programming for Haiku OS :) Still delighted by the article though.
