Default iPhone Haiku

I am so delighted with my new iPhone, I was inspired to write a Haiku.... (anyone else wanna give it a try?)

You Tube and iTune,
Stroke, Tap Me, iPhone Happy,
Shake Your Urban Spoon!

(from volweb.utk.edu)
Haiku is a poetic form and a type of poetry from the Japanese culture. Haiku combines form, content, and language in a meaningful, yet compact form. Haiku poets, which you will soon be, write about everyday things. Many themes include nature, feelings, or experiences. Usually they use simple words and grammar. The most common form for Haiku is three short lines. The first line usually contains five (5) syllables, the second line seven (7) syllables, and the third line contains five (5) syllables. Haiku doesn't rhyme. A Haiku must "paint" a mental image in the reader's mind. This is the challenge of Haiku - to put the poem's meaning and imagery in the reader's mind in ONLY 17 syllables over just three (3) lines of poetry!
