Feh....
So hard to please....
Appears in strange world
Keyblade Bearer inside the
Maze of Traverse Town
(please count "world" as 1 syllable)
Searching for the King
What does the Palooka Know?
Pluto runs away
Young Kid meets Old Gramps
The Search for His Friends starts now
Extremely Fruitless
Creatures from Islands
Steal Hearts for more Power
Kid becomes Warrior
Strange Man confronts Kid
He seems to want the Keyblade
Well he can't have it!
What do you think of them apples?

BTW look up "haiku" and you'll find out why I couldn't put more.

I remember reading about some things on haiku.
For instance, did you know that the english actually adopted the 5:7:5 from the japanese?
But anyways, I also know that Haikus don't always follow that type of structure.
Due to the fact that the english became aware that 17 English syllables convey a great deal more information than 17 Japanese syllables, and have come to write haiku in fewer syllables, most often in three segments that follow a short-long-short pattern without a rigid structure.
I just wanted to tell you about that, I found it extremely interesting when I first found this out. I was always a fan of Haiku writing, although I don't compose them anymore. I never liked such a confined space in writing, regardless of how you make them different. Three lines is just not for me.
Oh yes, back to your haikus,
I have not much to say except that I believe you are off just one syllable on a few of them, which is understandable. It is so hard to find the right words. Also, many of them are interesting, but put more description in it, which before you say anything, I know you have done so in a few, but since its so short, you really need to paint the picture with each word, not the overall sentence.
