Yes, the spear is most certainly a polearm, although they tend to be more in the 8-9 foot range.

Any weapon that features a shaft for two-handed use (wood, rattan, bamboo, or otherwise) is a polearm.

"Who despises me and my praiseworthy craft,

I'll hit on the head that it resounds in his heart."
