[Haiku has love soul heart hate etc. only
it doesn't usually name them (there are many exceptions), it uses
natural metaphors to express them. And yes, haiku is FULL of
metaphor.
There's a great gray area where a poem can be either.
Yes, senryu don't need a season word but poems that are both do.
"who said english senryu are haiku?"
The respected expert on haiku/senryu in that link above.
Read it, she makes a good case for it. One thing's for
sure: 95% of English senryu wouldn't be Japanese senryu.
That senryu definition you give includes a lot of haiku. Like she
and he say above: there is no firm dividing line; about %40 - 70%
of all these poems are both.
Read some of those links I included, they're by people who know
100 to a 1000 times more than we do. Our opinions, though we
love to spout them, are based on ignorance. (Yours, of course,
much more so than mine.)
