Haiku are only about nature. If it’s not about nature, it’s a senryu, and you’re just making up nonsense to sound smart.
I wrote a haiku about my mom’s cooking. She said it wasn’t a haiku, it was a senryu. I told her it was a senryu of fire.
My teacher said my poem wasn’t a haiku. I said it was a senryu. She said I was a senryu of a student.
I tried to write a haiku about my dad. He said it wasn’t a haiku. He said it was a senryu of disappointment.
