A classical haiku should, but modern haikus often don't.

5-7-5 is correct, but I guess bbarr is counting "aren't" as two syllables.

And quite rightly so.

However, I'm still quite sure (although not positively sure) that a haiku should refer to one of the seasons.

I've tried to look it up and all I can find is that it's supposed to refer to nature to some degree.

mhmmmm mhmmmmm mhmmmmmm mhmmmmmm
Ponder this subject I will
mhmmmm mhmmmmm mhmmmmmm mhmmmmmm

EDIT:
And that is probably the greatest blunder ever made in the forums. Dear Jesus, I should be shot for that.

Bowmann, do not weep,
Just do better next time 'round.

Alone in the woods,
the soft stool falls onto Earth.
I reach for dry leaves.

One for your friend Shav:

If you want my ass
I have special pleasure bumps
They're called hemmorhoids

Also not a haiku.

Bowmann and Freddie, birds of a feather.

Actually, to be quite frank...

I hate haikus! Give me a good limerick anyday of the week!
If it don't rhyme, it ain't no good!

...sorry, I'm still trying to struggle with the concept that n't could be a syllable.

Nope, aren't is definitely a one syllable word, unless you have some sort of bias against contractions.

(HEEEELP! I'm agreeing with Bowmann! He's taking me over with his mind ray!)

Ahem.

Two sounds into one
Will not reside easily
One must leave, and soon

Fuit olim Persarum rex Xerxes.
Non vitabat, vetabat quae lex, res.

Id non facit, quod grex, rex.
Quid sit nex, debes scire, si rex es!

Ahem.

Two sounds into one
Will not reside easily
One must leave, and soon
It's a twilight zone.
The syllables keep falling
Like leaves in autumn.
