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

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

...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.

Ahem.

Actually, to be quite frank...
I hate haikus! Give me a good limerick anyday of the week!

The syllables keep falling
