About this poem

This is another form I have been toying with…I’m not sure if I should call it Hairu or Haiiro???Are there any around here that are knowledgeable in the forms of Japanese Poetry who can give me their honest opinion???Then again it could just be simple Haiku or Senryu…Can it even be considered a form of Waka poetry???
