Rainbows of color all
all red, yellow, orange, green, blue
now after a rain.
(I believe I described a basic rainbow. Also, I do believe I have the 5, 7, 5 pattern of a proper haiku. I had these ideas, and I wanted to get them down before they left me never to return. Hope you read and comment.)

The Family
Family is caring and loving persons always together. (Another haiku for analysis and I think I am improving even just a little bit. I know that I need work. Does anybody know a good book on how to write these poems better. Let me know if possible. Thank you.)

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Fear of a Black Hat
Fear of a Black Hat, a Rusty Cundieff film, is one of my all-time favorite movies when I need to laugh. We’re talking Kentucky-Fried Movie territory. You want the uncut version, otherwise you don’t get the Ice Froggy Frog video (below) at the beginning or the discussion about artistic integrity in Cleveland. I own the cut version (😥)—couldn’t find the uncut version at that time, no extra money for it right now, but you aren’t me, so buy the uncut version.

I believe rainbows are messages from above.
Thanks for the comment. I thought orange and color were only one syllable.
Your haiku is actually 6-8-5, but I can see why you thought it was a proper haiku. I always use this Haiku Syllable Counter, to double-check: https://www.haikusyllablecounter.com/ They are hard, but it gets easier as you write more and more of them.
