I'm not sure if your title is asking a question or if it's just ironic. This has a lot of the aspects of a haiku like season and juxtaposition but I don't think it would be classed as a haiku because they are usually about nature, although it could be argued that there is an element of nature. I find that when in doubt call it a senryu... and then run away... fast.
Thanks for the read,
Mark
Thanks so much for your kind feedback. I'm happy that you enjoyed the poem. I tried to make a poem about heatstroke, but wanted a lot of sexual undertones.
I had a question mark in the title, cause I wasn't sure whether it was a haiku or a senryu. Thanks for the explanation. Based on yours and other helpful comments I've gotten, I think it's mostly a senryu.
My best,
Louise

i'd say senryu, but only out of choice, it works with the sex aspct or with the dehydration aqspect as an imageexcellent
