    What kind of haiku is this? To poetic knowledge a haiku is about a moment in nature that has caught the poet attention. Its theme is ever nature in a compact three lines that try to use mainly nouns which is harder to do in English that in Japanese where the haiku originated. One should not use the three lines to write about anything one wishes and call it a haiku, at least not poetically speaking.
    Yours has the three lines and the correct number of syllables, but the theme does not apply to the true haiku. Try to study the form and then give it a go.
