you can't count, kindly
bugger off. Love,

the last line remains

des·ti·na·tion: far
Cate, you are showing ignorance, stubborn wilfulness, or poor pronunciation skills

des-ti-na-ti-on far = 6 syllables. The word "destination" is not pronounced by any educated person as "destinashun"

Dear Al i ce, I do not think you understand the concept of 'bugger off. Please research/ write a paper in regards to and then respond (or more accurately don't respond) with the appropriate behaviour.

much tolerance,

Cate

Dear Geoffrey, Haiku's are a particular form demanding specific numbers of syllables in each line. Your effort is invalid because on its proper pronunciation "so shaft me quickly" is 6 syllables, not 5.

so
shaft
me
quick
er
ly

Are you actually Cate in disguise? She can't count either

... okay, I'm going with "so shaft me quickly" which I believe is the correct amount of syllables

so shaft me quickly
miss your mighty epitaph
don't even write me...

...(actually, if I could have, syllable wise, I'd have written "you don't even write me"...) but the line stays as is, for haiku purposes...
