Well the 1st thing is that you cannot "accomplish" Haiku in any language other than Japanese -- the lingual structure is that specific. The thing that English speakers write is often referred to as American Haiku or American Sentence.
You probably know the basic of 17 syllables; 5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables... but then there are 2 additional variations;
1) you can write about something and in the process refer to a season and at least 1 word has to evoke the feelings of that season
0r
2) You can write about yourself/experiences/thoughts, but must use a thing called a cut-word, which makes a sudden change of tone where you demonstrate growth, learning or personal improvement.
