Sharp orange warnings
A surcease of compliance
The airbag ravine

This is my first time writing haiku. I'm not sure if it's too disjointed or not..thoughts?

Ah, i changed "vivid" to "sharp". I've never thought of orange as two syllables, but I stand corrected.

This made me smile... i like the plunge in the last line... 'compliance' works as the cutting word here. Though, being pedantic, i would say 'orange' has two syllables (maybe not with an American accent, i don't know) and this makes the first line 6 syllables instead of 5.

That's pretty much it, yeah. I'm no haiku expert..so I'm not sure if I can have that large jump in time there. Dunno lol.

Interesting. Although I was lost when I got to airbag ravine. Are you implying the airbag went off when you hit the ravine? I think the last line a bit confusing to the inexperienced reader, namely myself :) LOL As I have only written my first today as well.
