Modern writers won't let the syllable count stop them.

They stink. I'm old school.
You need to make it all fit.
Anything less sucks.

An old school haiku
Should refer to a season.
The words fall like snow.

"The Whale was beguiled"
Is that what you meant to say?
But you are still wrong.

Edit: Just noticed
Your edit. You were quite fast!
But still wrong, of course.

I would love to know

It's what you say when
Your spraying spit and snot
Excuse you a lot

The snow and the words
Were falling in winter, but
Some might fall in fall.

Autumn is English
but 'Fall' is American.
Snow is just cold

I know that. But why
Is your haiku missing a
Syllable again?
