Here is my haiku
I wrote it for this question
Is it any good?

I understand the mechanical basics of a haiku being the three line syllable pattern of 5-7-5, the contrast of two images with a "cutting word", is often about nature, and contains a seasonal word (the last of which seems much rarer in English haiku I've read). A more proper haiku might be as follows:

The tree in my yard
Stands tall and magnificent
Rotting in the sun

What I'm having trouble with is understanding how to write a "good" haiku. Is it about trying to create as strong a contrast as possible? Make it evoke as powerful image? Something else?

What can I do to write a good haiku poem, aside from just adhering to the structure?
