Yes, but....it doesn't alwyas work by that definition

summer's warmth
quickly forgotton
frost on my soul

My dictionary says "a Japanese poem or verse form
consisting of 17 syllables
divided into 3 lines of 5, 7 and 5 syllables, often
about nature or a
season." What was missing from the definition?
