"I want the B train" A boy cries on the A train Only in New York. (Cary LeCheen, Manhattan) | I live in New York I can make it anywhere I can't make it here. (Ameer Gittens, The Bronx) |

These all miss one essential aspect of a haiku -- they should refer to a particular season. E.g., "springtime in New York".
Yes, NickH, I suppose I was not paying attention to that requirement. I did, however, make the cut--which is more than can be said for you. :-P
