"A haiku is 'valid' when it consists of no more than 18 syllables and is structured in either two or three lines. There is a caesura at the end of the first line when there are two and a caesura at the end of the second when there are three lines. This caesura ensures, that there is a comparasion between the two segments."
Also there is a reference made to nature. Even if a haiku looks simple due to the limitation of syllables, it is complex in a metapoetic way when interpreted.
That would be exactly what my professor told me during class.

Do you burn your mouth?
When iced coffee is burning our majesty;
what happens to liquid oxygen?
(Looks different, but by the definition, I got on Wednesday in a literature theoretics lecture, it still is a valid haiku)
it's true lol
And folks say that The Lord of Evil is useless....
(Not me, of course, I hasten to explain Oh Exaulted One.)
Man, you like your coffee so much.
