My first ever Haiku.

I was about to post a question on "the eternal 1up FM mailbag thread over at 1up.com.
When I read the last post in the thread at that time. The poster had a back up question, (as a joke I'd guess) where he asked the 1up FM crew to write a 5-7-5 Haiku about the question: How do you satisfy a woman?

So I wrote this in a reply:

Heart of a woman.
Tender touch confidant kiss.
Will lead to love bliss.

I have no idea if it's any good. Mostly because I don't really understand what makes a haiku good or not. Maybe it's because the form does not translate well to western languges.

As far as I understand a Haiku in Japanese and in a western language are completly differnt things. Because of the differnce in grammar rules the 5-7-5 from makes no sense in western languages. You'd need a lot more cillables to write something that makes sense. That's the gist of what I understand about it anyway.
