I got the mating thing so it's either fairly clear or I'm just a bit of a pervert 
As I said earlier, I think the sonnet matches the haiku form nicely and would probably work in parallel, but... they might actually be too close so the effect might not be all that spectacular. Plus, a sonnet has only 14 lines so there's not a lot of room for the seasons to fully turn. There's a longer form called a ballade that might do the trick though.
It's an ambitious undertaking but it's exciting to see people thinking outside the box -- sure there are rules and conventions, but there are no limits in poetry.

It could be worse
