She sighs :)
She closes her eyes.
She falls asleep on the futon.
She first snores, and then she falls down from the futon. So does the Dark Lord.
She wakes up.
She opens her eyes.
She sighs :)
All is well.
I am not really sure whether this is a form of haiku, but what's for sure is that it's a poem. I try to express this impression of the excellent ending of the last book of the Harry Potter series. It is so good that this reader ("she") smiled to to herself ( " :) " ) and fell into a good sleep so immediately, and so she began to enter the happy world of Harry Potter in her dream, joining Harry Potter and his friends. Just the moment she entered the world, she fell down from the couch and banged her head so hard that she woke up. But when she realized that nothing is wrong, she sighed with relief again and realized that everything is fine.
You do realize that there are 9 lines, right? The first and the last lines are the same, the second and the eighth are the same, the third and the seventh have opposite meanings, the fourth and the sixth have opposite meanings, and the fifth line alone is the longest line and so it happens that the fifth line has no pair out of the 9, unlike the other lines that I paired. But everything is in present tense. Just so to say that all is well right now, right at this moment, so the past and the future is not considered at all, because we are celebrating the moment of now, the present.
Now that I've explained it through, I do think it is a haiku.
