Paradoxical haiku

Further adventures in Surreality

Melinda's (further) adventures in Surreality Melinda shares a body with Belinda, a sensible, 50-something, middle class housewife and mother of two, but her soul is uniquely and eternally her own. Her role models are Lady Hester Stanhope and Ruby Tuesday. She loves cats, Jim Morrison, red wine and good cheese. She has never found a man to match her, and maybe he doesn't exist, but she indulges in romantic fantasies from time to time. In another reality she is Cassandra, but she knows she can't save humanity from itself, so as it ignores her warnings and hurtles headlong towards its doom, all she can do is watch more in sorrow than anger, and wish she'd shagged Apollo when she had the chance.

I thought that this might
turn out to be a haiku.
Perhaps it will (not).

  Not too hard really. It came to me when I was thinking about the leaves. I was wondering whether that could be a haiku (I wrote one about autumn leaves years ago which I might dig out), and I realised 'this might be a haiku' sounded quite haiku-like, so I just played around with it in my head for a bit. I was quite pleased with the way I just had to add 'not' to the end to turn it into one.
  
  Really they just write themselves, all I do is catch them. Or not.
