What you have constructed here is actually what's called an American Sentence.
Some debate whether haiku can be made in any language other than Japanese because of the relationship between syllables and whole words or concepts.
BUT ALSO Haiku are supposed to have some references to seasons
AND a thing referred to as a "cut word", which in Japanese describes a word that shows a change or shift -- can also denote that change in terms of growth, absorbing experiences or learning.

This is why there are masters at haiku, and why Americans can whip them out a dozen an hour and be like "Oh, God the biggest challenge is in seeing what the hell the challenge is."
The one that shows the format in the illstration may be one if open is the cut word...
