I like to be flexible with my syllable counts. Sometimes 'fire' has 2 syllables. Don't judge.
Japanese words will be by syllable, not by morae. Nothing could fit in the poems otherwise. (Sorry Basho.)
About the other stuff:
So I might be straying from the haiku this time. In my defense, the Japanese haiku could also mean 'hike' (俳句 versus ハイク). Since most of these things are thought up while walking, who's to say they're not in the spirit of the blog's title?
