Avoid metaphors in a haiku. What is expected out of you is to present a detached simple observation without any trickery or word play. 17 syllables is not a pre-requisite. A strong image is.
.An example, . Oh snail, you were there - yesterday! . a firefly feeding on marijuana, - illumination! . Plural of haiku is haiku. Not haikus. Though I do like the last one!
