As the instructions say, haiku does not have to have a strict 5/7/5 syllable count. They can have 17 syllables or under, as long as the the syllable count reads short/long/short. I chose to write this haiku in a 4/7/6 syllable count, which is allowed. Thank you for reading this clarification, as there often confusion on this issue.
