FYI - The Rules for Writing Haiku - English Grammar Rules & Usage states the following:
"Punctuation and capitalization are up to the poet and need not follow rigid rules used in structuring sentences.  A haiku does not have to rhyme, in fact usually it does not rhyme at all." 

My muse understands this, but this time my muse wants it to rhyme.  Just sayin'... :)
