I have read you need to put a season word in every haiku? It is said there are 1500 season words....I think in your haiku, it is the "walnut." If, like other nuts, it ripens in the fall, the "walnut," would be your season word? I would love to sail in your little boat!!!
Ask Chevrefeuille at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai who is an authority on Japanese poetry.There is a lot of information on his blog. Season word is loosely anything to do with nature....senryu concerns emotion...Most of us don't conform to the rules. Kerouac wrote some very humorous haiku which is not strictly haiku.
I think you have created a haiku sculpture!!!
