Does the word 'haiku' have European origins?

Haiku is a mode of Japanese poetry, the late 19th century revision by Masaoka Shiki of the older hokku. The traditional Haiku consisted of around 5, 7, 5 on. The Japanese word on, meaning "sound", corresponds to a mora, a phonetic unit similar but not identical to the syllable of a language such as English. (The words onji, ("sound symbol") or moji (character symbol) are also sometimes used.) A haiku contains a special season word (the kigo) representative of the season in which the renga is set, or a reference to the natural world. Haiku usually combine three different phrases, with a distinct grammatical break (kireji) usually at the end of either the first five or second seven or last five morae. These elements of the older haiku are considered by many to be essential to haiku as well, although they are not always included by modern writers of Japanese "free-form haiku" and of non-Japanese haiku. Japanese haiku are typically written as a single line, while English language haiku are traditionally separated into three lines. In Japanese, nouns do not have different singular and plural forms, so 'haiku' is usually used as both a singular and plural noun in English as well. Senryu is a similar poetry form that emphasizes humor and human foibles instead of seasons, and which may not have kigo or kireji.

Why are so many questions on English poetry left unanswered?

English poetry is a pretty old thing, and no offense, but not many have interest in English poetry or have proper knowledge to answer these questions. Note: How old English poetry is depends on when it was written; while poetry may not be a hot topic currently, there are many contemporary poets and there has always been. Poetry will probably never completely vanish, and there may be future times when it experiences revival. Poetry can be particularly difficult to understand and to write because some of the technical aspects of brilliant poetry are not easily grasped. It is easy to write, to like and to loathe doggerel.

Do haiku poems always have to be about a season or things in nature?

No, though it should refer to a season. It only needs to use a word or phrase to indicate season, in order to paint a background image for everything else in the poem. It's mostly to indicate time and mood. Here's a good article about it! http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/8361735/dancing_with_the_stars_haiku_poetry.html?cat=47
