Oh. . .right.

according to dictionary.reference.com
the pronounciation key is [groul] making it a one sylable word like out, loud, and how.

I still say there's at LEAST half a syllable there in "howl" that isn't there with "how".

I'm a descriptivist, not a prescriptivist.
I mean, is haiku to be read, or spoken? I feel like syllables are fundamentally a spoken thing.
Or maybe the question is, our haikus to be read, or spoken with a vague northeast melange accent?
