What exactly is the modern english haiku? Is it just any short evocative sentence?

Question

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku_in_English

the syllable rule does not have to be followed. it doesn’t have to rhyme. a single line can be used, even a single word, or just use as many lines or syllables as you want. so any short evocative sentence can be called a haiku? maybe that’s the joke, hence the haiku bot?

how about that 6-word baby shoes story, can that be called a haiku too?
