1. The significance of nature in each Haiku is that it states the mood and what the theme is.
In a Matsuo Basho poem, the season is stated. "On a withered branch a crow has settled-- autumn nightful."
In the Uejima Onitsura "Songs to Wild Cherries," the poem has evidence that it is spring.
In "Blossoms on the Pear," by Taniguchi Buson, spring is represented as well along with descriptions of nature.
In Kabayashi Issa's "A Morning-Glory Vine," a more darkened mood is showed, which is represented by the vine.
2. Haiku and Senryu are quite similar. Both are three lines but Haiku have a little more serious, nature themed ideas. Senryu have more irony and humor to it.
3.
Glistening in light
The branches sway in the wind
Wind fills with chirping

I like the haiku poem you created! The image of the wind filling with chirping is a very pleasant one.
You need to have textual evidence to back up the significance of nature in each haiku and to compare/contrast the senryu and haiku.
You are right about the senryu having more irony and humor than haiku.
