I don't understand the Japanese idea of haiku, but I'm pretty sure that it's not well captured by 17 syllables of English. The better attempts at English haiku just go for small numbers of syllables. Each poem is supposed to be clearly identified with one of the four seasons. I sorta tried to use those ideas below.

The slippery snow My wet dog Sky, Frosted nose Quick thaw, a hike; Coy sunbeam: Failing |
Comfort of Unwelcome Thunder! I say, ... Snuffles Ear wax, One fainted, |
Cold nose Thought stuttered, Thunder! Scurrilous Squatting effort; Mosquito: nnmnmnmn .... slap! |
