"... SF poetry ... has its own ... subdivisions -- [including] "scifaiku" --- ... a haiku written about an SF or fantasy-related subject. Poets such as Deborah P Kolodji, Ann K. Schwader, Teri Santitoro, Geoffrey A. Landis and others have made serious studies as to how haiku can be used in this way, and could tell you better than I about things like the use of kigo words to signify seasons, or how the standard 5-7-5 syllable pattern you learn in school doesn't really translate the spirit of Japanese haiku into English."
