you need one more syllable in the final line, in order to have a proper haiku. actually, in japanese, the syllable count is flexible, but in english haiku, i have noticed the counts more strictly enforced. however, a four-syllable final line with an ellipsis does sort of put emphasis on the final word, which I believe is the turning point of the poem...
well, see. what you saw as "haiku form" i just did because i like a longer post, instead of just one line. i'm no poet, and i wasn't trying to be, i just like this quote.
