Ya know, technically, a haiku is a poem.
How about:
Ah! Numerator,
Flying, free, above the
Denominator.
Or even a little more tongue-in cheek:
Ah! Numerator!
Then, in between, a straight line...
Denominator!

I found a really funny one, but you shouldn't copy it. Just enjoy it.
You should make up your own.
I Want No Part of Fractions
I want no part of fractions
They only bring me grief.
Half the time on the quarter quiz
I can't explain what one eighth is.
It took math teachers to decide
That we'll divide them side by side.
They say it works, I don't know why
You turn one over and multiply.
I think the world's worst agitator
Is the smallest common denominator.
You need 'em to add, it drives you silly,
But multiplying is willy nilly.
I may be bad but here's the topper:
They say my fractions are improper.
My dreams of success are cast asunder--
My number above is bigger than under.
Tell me, folks, ain't it absurd?
One half is bigger than one third!
Why, back in first grade we all knew:
A three is larger than a two.
Math teachers find it so amusing
That learning fractions is confusing.
Why, we could learn this stuff real fine
If they'd take out that silly line.

I sit here, contemplating, my oh my,
Doing fractions for no true reason, why oh why?
Must I toil with quadratics, only to receive non-whole numbers?
Shall I put effort into formulas and produce mathmatical blunders?
No, for I now comprehend why the world needs fractions,
for without them, there'd be no political factions,
Nor chemical reactions, and certainly no mathmatic interactions,
So thank God Almighty,
As he has beautifully crafted the concept of fractions

Well here is a pretty feeble effort:
Fractions are such curious things
They need three bits to describe 'em
They have two numbers in their makings
Separated by its vinculum
The lower number tells us who
It names our fraction for us
The top one tells us how many
Of this fraction greet us

Fractions, fractions,
What's with all the damn distractions,
Fractions, fractions,
All I read is the captions,
Fractions, fractions,
One number over another number,
Divide them and take actions,
Fractions, fractions,
Mathematics is a bastion.

Yes in Italy one made a poem with the quartines of verses ending
with the formula of the volume of the sphere
............4/3.pi.r^3
in italian.....''.quattro terzi pi greco erre tre''.
it was nice and sounded well.
