"Pediatrician" is 5 syllables on its own, so "need pediatrician" is 6.

Japanese haiku rules who? If it's English and I can't sing it to the Jacksfilms Haiku tune, I'm not calling it a haiku

You are right on the counting. Thanks for the correction! I must've read '-dia-' as a diphthong, I don't think I've ever said 'pediatrician' out loud until now. Still a haiku anyways.

And that tune, almost none of the haiku fit the melody! For singing you have to take into account the accents and on beats. Don't get me wrong I had a good chuckle and may or might not start doing it myself but as a rule of thumb to recognize (or gatekeep) haiku is not the best.

Reading one-line haiku
