Haiku is poetry that puts you in a very "still" state... or put another way, you have to have a kind of quietness of soul to appreciate haiku.
Smoking a pipe, the same.
Pert young woman passing,
My favorite limerick begins: "There once was a woman named Gloria"
And it ends: ". . . And the band at the Waldorf Astoria."
The rest isn't suitable for sharing in so refined a venue as this forum.
