Haiku or Senryu? Edit

[CRNDLSM]

No(h).

Being no authority on this, but logically, removing the self-referential last line leaves neither.  "Nickname" would make it about people while 'Winter Sol[s]tice' in quotes is only a name, not a seasonal reference... so if we must, senryu.  But, IMHO, we mustn't.

I agree with your honest opinion   my question was about the self reference.  writing about haiku could be haiku since it was probably vocal before it was written, making it about communication which is natural? 

So the short  poem thingy here could not be haiku because of 'the winter solstice' even if the word nickname was altered?
