Cowboys win again
Viking's Ship is sinking fast
Bring on the Eagles

Down in The Cellar
Dark warmth nurtures baby trolls.
Abortion? Debate.

Absolutely! (that is, absolutely right, not absolutely wrong). Go to the top of the class (and jump off).
Although the nature/seasonal link can be very indirect, and follows various obscure conventions, such as a reference to moss indicating autumn, or leaves spring. These examples are just made up for illustration purposes, don't hold me to them.
There is a similar style of poetry with the same syllable pattern, but which can be about politics or society. I can't think of the name right now, I'll get back to you.

I was thinking more of the western interpretation of the haiku concept, where we just follow the syllable pattern,

I once did software development feedback in epic haiku form. I made some notes for my proposal and realized they had fallen naturally into the haiku format ... the IT person was quite bemused.

Hey BigV is good at this, isn't he?

Am I cleaning plates?
Or making water dirty?
Or making dirt wet?

Like a proud parent,
I smiled as my new thread grew.
Sad to see it fade.

Visiting with you
I really should be working
Just one minute more

I ate meat last night
it sat heavily inside
boy do i stink now

darling petty games
exhaust patient hopes and dreams
i will play no more

did you not believe
me when I expressed my anger
with futility

letters words and lies
like a blade cut your love in two
sharpened on my pride

I string words like pearls
and I hope that you like them
as much as i do
