A proper haiku is more than just the correct syllable count in each line - the first two lines are supposed to set up an ambiguous image that is resolved in the last line, something like a riddle. One example (I cannot remember the author's name, but I found it in the book "An Almanac of Words At Play") that illustrates this feature very well:
Oh! I ate them all!
And Oh! What a stomachache!
Stolen green apples.
