I like ordinary sized Vikings just fine I don't need 'em to be huge.

That’s what I remembered from high school but I read somewhere… (on the internet so it must be true)… that the syllable rules are limited to the Japanese versions. The brevity and the provision of a seasonal word remains consistent across the format.

The national associations are more flexible and more importantly, the greatest haiku poet of all time, Basho, said that it was more important to write a good poem that to strictly follow the rules…

“Do not follow the ancient masters, seek what they sought.” However strong his opinions and theories, Bashō’s primary allegiance was to the living moment and its accurate, full-hearted presentation. Of the formal requirements of haiku, he said, “If you have three or four, even five or seven extra syllables but the poem still sounds good, don’t worry about it. But if one syllable stops the tongue, look at it hard.”
― Jane Hirshfield, The Heart of Haiku

That is cool!

Matsuo Bashō, ‘A Caterpillar’.

A caterpillar,
this deep in fall –
still not a butterfly.

Basho spoke about capturing a moment that tells a story - sort of like a good photograph, I guess. There are lists of seasonal and place words and some of it can be quite subtle.

Back in Basho's time they used to have haiku duels, going back and forth. It sounds like they had fun

And the format continues to grow and adapt… for example there are thousands of haiku about spam (the meat product) at the Spamku site

Little slab of meat
In a wash of clear jelly
Now I heat the pan.
