I expect there is a sung form in which this actually has the right number of syllables, but they're cheating too. And there are more requirements for a haiku than syllable count; I'm fairly sure some kind of reference to a season is one of them.

There are first approximation rules in [livejournal.com profile] haiku_daily's userinfo.

But a lot of what is called haiku is actually senryu, which has the same form, but fewer rules regarding content.

The thing about the syllable count rule is that counting syllables in Japanese is a million times easier than doing it in English...
