Why not?
Surely you could have an iambic haiku (although not one in nice Shakespearean pentameters). Well, sort of. It could go like this:
Life is to short to burn our boats. We sit and dream of moats and views and. Problem is you have an odd number of syllables, so you're always going to have an uncompleted foot at the end. Note this example uses only words of one syllable.
Exactly, very good point.
