From a non-professional writer, please don't sue me.

First, find your kigo (季語),
Then find the right Kireji (切れ�-),
To pen your feelings.

Disclaimer: I'm no master at this, just a self-taught idiot who writes for fun... Please check in with official sources and do your own research, or ask advice from professional writers or topic-related cultured teachers to learn more about how to craft your haiku.

From the Wikipedia:
* Kigo (季語) -- "Season word", a word/phrase that helps the reader(s) indicate a particular season, from my understanding, it could be a trait of the season or an object that is signature to the season, etc.
* Kireji (切れ字) -- "Cutting word", it is said to help define and support the structure of a verse, it briefly cuts the stream of thought, indicating that the verse consists of two thoughts half independent of each other. (Wikipedia's definition)

There feels like so much effort put into this short Senryu (which I'm just now learning what that is, thanks to you!). And with the translation, it give this poem a certain edge. A sense of finding your season and finding your perfect medium that supports the truth we all store within our hearts. Although I'm in zero position to offer constructive criticism, I can appreciate this Senryu for the work of art that it is. Thank you for sharing this while also educating me on a type of poetry I was unaware of.
