I don't know english rules well, and I never bother to check my grammar because I'm fortunate enough to usually be right without thinking. So in my haiku, "who" may have been the correct term, but I had a feeling when writing it that "whom" was. But to rhyme, I would have had to change, "you", to "youhm". And if "who" was the correct term, that would have been even sillier than using a made-up word is on a base level.
"Whom" is correct in official written, published written, and very formal spoken speech. In almost every other context, "whom" is not really a word, as far as linguists are concerned.
