"Lets get one thing out of the way though, is Dudeism 2 or 3 syllables?  I could see it Dude-ism  or dude-is-m"

Sorry, should have come back to this, sooner: some sources put 'ism' at 1 and others at 2 syllables (talking about net resources). I guess you should go with what ever feels right for your haiku (although, Uberdude is probably right with the 3 syllable take).

Sorry, should have come back to this, sooner: some sources put 'ism' at 1 and others at 2 syllables (talking about net resources). I guess you should go with what ever feels right for your haiku (although, Uberdude is probably right with the 3 syllable take).

For our inner Walters:

"In contrast to English verse typically characterized by meter, Japanese verse counts sound units known as "on" or morae. Traditional haiku consist of 17 on, in three phrases of five, seven, and five on, respectively. Among contemporary poems teikei (fixed form) haiku continue to use the 5-7-5 pattern while jiyuritsu (free form) haiku do not.[8] One of the examples below illustrates that even the traditional haiku masters were not always constrained by the 5-7-5 pattern.

"Although the word "on" is often translated as "syllable", in fact one on is counted for a short syllable, an additional one for an elongated vowel, diphthong, or doubled consonant, and one more for an "n" at the end of a syllable. Thus, the word "haibun", though counted as two syllables in English, is counted as four on in Japanese (ha-i-bu-n). This is illustrated by the Issa haiku below, which contains 17 on but only 15 syllables. In addition, some sounds, such as "kyo" (きょ) can be perceived as two syllables in English but is a single on in Japanese.

. . .

"Some translators of Japanese poetry have noted that about 12 syllables in English approximates the duration of 17 Japanese on.[12]"
