Previously called Hokku, now called Haiku. Keep it piano or music related somehow. Stick to the original format of 5-7-5. (Sometimes syllables can be used as part of the count.)
Let me try another one: If many sleepless nights abound Play some endless scales up and down Perhaps then sleep is found
Will do some R&B for a while. Give the classical a break. You can spend the rest of your life looking for music on a sheet of paper. You'll never find it, because it just ain't there. - Me Myself

Do haikus adhere to a mixed time signature? Are they arhythmic?

I'm no expert in Haiku...just looked into the basics. I think it's just a matter of having some fun. Here's another one I made up:
I'm wearing out my fingers Feels like they've been through the wringers Time to join the singers?

How about melody? Should haiku follow a scale? Whole tone? Chromatic? *** Yes. *** Expecting three lines And none of us are experts Beginners mind, all. *** To follow a scale We need correct fingering And i make mistakes

I think the main thing is to feel the rhythm and the accents. And to make it simple and standardized follow the original idea of 5 words (or a/with combination of syllables) in the first line, then followed by 7 in the next line, and 5 again in the last line. That gives some restrictions and some challenge. 5 7 5 Dividing the syllables with "-" helps to clarify. Also to express a complete and coherent thought/idea. And surely it can be put to music also. Give it a melody...choose any scale (even the Japanese scale)...whole tone or chromatic. Even monotonic...make it into a rap tune. It can be used as a springboard into song writing.

In my piano Miles and miles of notes to play If only I could

So you'd say that its lyrics, rhythm, melody, all told, make music?

"Saturday"
Cat orders breakfast. Tuna, mouse, coffee with cream. Doesn't leave a tip.
I sit, hands folded, Counting silent syllables. Beethoven can wait.
Haiku-- gateway drug. Dactylic hexameter Is the final stage.
Guess I'll have to-- how You say-- kick the cold turkey? Pardon my shaking.

Haiku thoughts from the keyboard
On her piano Glorious sounds from heaven Ten fingers played Bach
My piano insists No more Shostokovich I sigh with relief

Yamaha pianos Have the best silent system In the entire world. And Yamaha didn't even pay me for this.
My grand piano is a Yamaha C2 SG. My other Yamaha is an XMAX 300.
