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

They stink. I'm old school.

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?
