Haiku of a narcissistic male

You are beneath me
I eat coal, shit out dimonds
I am immortal

Hahaha is that even a true haiku ?

All haiku are true, so don't worry about that.
I like it for that fact that it packs a punch and says a lot in only 17 syllables. And for me that's one of the attraction to haiku, to say a lot with hardly any words, it is a lot more difficult than it sounds, and it sounds difficult.
Cheers for the read, it is good to see some more people writing in this forum.

Hey, thanks a bunch.. I didn't understand the point of a haiku until you just mentioned you have a very limited number of syllables. I hadn't thought of it that way.... I have a new respect for haiku's now. Thank you

Just realised what I wrote looked ambiguous, when I said "I liked it" I was referring to your haiku, but now I've just read it back it looks like I'm referring to haiku in general and that I just ignored your haiku altogether - so I'll try again

That makes more sense.
