Yes, but....it doesn't alwyas work by that definition
in English. Yours works for the moment, describes a
moment, is seasonal, but lacks that punch or twist
characteristic of haiku.

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?
