Haiku definition.

Contrary to the blurb on the landing page of the OP site, haiku always contains referential images to "nature", without exception. If it relates to anything other, such as an ideation or emotion, et cetera, it is known as Senryu.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
