Haiku

I have been playing in twitter a lot recently, as I can practice reading and typing hiragana on my smart phone, something I can't do on my PC (well, the typing part anyway). Last night I decided to try my hand at a haiku using hiragana. I have no idea why I decided to do it, but I did. This is what I came up with:
ふなっしー
きいろいなしは
あいらしい
funassyi
kiiroi nashi wa
airashii
The English translation is not as "romantic" sounding and doesn't work within the rules for haiku, but I have included it here for those that don't read/speak Japanese.
funassyi
yellow pear
captivating
It isn't a very good haiku, but it is my very first attempt, so I am content with it. I might try to make better ones later on.
