A "town" on the island of Maui in Hawaii, United States which should be called a region instead due to its vast size, large population of trees, and perplexing roads that will lead you to the middle of the middle of nowhere. When giving directions, be sure to offer a map and perhaps spare fuel.
"Eh, you live in Haiku ya? What part you stay?"
"Oh uh, I dunno."
Haiku by Originalnabisco December 9, 2008
A form of Japanese poetry with 17 syllables in three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables. Almost all elementary english teachers force their students to write a haiku because they are too lazy to teach real poetry.
All haikus are great,
But they don't always make sense.
I got the buttpee.
