So, I looked up Haiku earlier this year (they weren't a part of my schooling), and I understood that as well as the syllable thing, they were supposed to contain two related but distinct images/ideas (sentences) and have a seasonal/nature link. Am I wrong in this?

The one I wrote was this:

Released from classrooms
New growth awaits the learners.
Scrip is awoken.

I was pushing the scrip fundraiser, which is mainly used to fund the firld trip program at our school. It was spring, the time when the program starts up again after a winter lull, and also the need for $$$

The haiku worked -after that I got requests for poetry in my weekly newsletter and the $$ raised nearly trebled! I threaten them with horrible limericks if they don' raise more money!
