Answer:
First, the word “haiku” is both singular and plural, so there’s no need to say “haikus.” A traditional haiku in Japan has a “kigo” or season word, and the more traditional schools of haiku say that a poem is not a haiku if it lacks a kigo (other schools are more relaxed on this target, but it’s still a central tradition for haiku, even among contemporary writers today). Kigo are collected into what are called “saijiki,” or almanacs of season words with example poems and other information. Some saijiki are as big as encyclopedias, and others are short pocket editions with the most important terms and poems. You can even get smartphone apps for this, and there used to be dedicated electronic devices specifically for haiku poets to use when taking a “ginko” or haiku walk, so they could check their kigo usage. When Japanese haiku groups have a “kukai” or haiku meeting, they are often given a couple of topics, usually current season words, to write about, and the poems are judged and voted on by everyone present, although of course the participants most want to see which poems are selected by the various “dojin” (senior members) or “sensei” (teacher or leader).
