Traditionally, haikus in Japan reflect nature, but modern haiku in both Japan and abroad deal with a variety of topics;
Haikus can be about everything (1), anything (2) or nothing (3). The key to a haiku is the measure, not the content. It does not even need to rhyme.
(1)
Everything, or
The entire Universe,
Reflection of God
(2) A Haiku poem can be about a season, for example:
Autumn is now here
red, orange, yellow and brown
leaves are falling down
(3)
Bored, and I can't write
a good haiku anymore.
I'm going to bed
