"Haiku is all about nature. True haiku all contain a "seasoning word" indicating the time of year, to put the reader in the proper frame of mind. It's not just the number of syllables per line that makes a poem haiku." Here are a bunch of true haiku which all seem to support that idea. http://www.takase.com/Haiku/Haiku.htm

And finally, last night I went to see my friend Sarasota Slim at Darwin's. The article in Creative Loafing was right; as promised, he delivered a really enjoyable show as usual. The special bonus treat this time was that his Hammond B3 player couldn't make it, so Slim brought a phenomenal 16-year-old guitarist named Rick Lollar from Tallahassee. This kid knocked my socks off! His playing was perfect in every way - perfect tone, dynamics, phrasing, articulation and taste, with amazing speed when sparingly and artfully used. With my eyes closed I'd have sworn he was Larry Carlton. Then he started singing, and that was pretty good too. Keep an eye on this one!
