Would it be OK if I entered a haiku in Icelandic?

Nevermind, I already did, and hey! I entered a contest. Just don't judge it too hard (yet), I'm kind of drunk right now... 8-}

Google is your friend...

After a long day
It seems to me a good lie
down and fall asleep

On a hard day's night
It feels nice to lay oneself
down and fall asleep.

I think that would be a translation I'd like.

Yes, Haiku's were for January. Last year February was the Lonely Hearts contest.

Five syllables in the first line
Seven in the second.
Five for the last.
