Haiku is a seasonal, reverent celebration of a subject (nature or people) trying to make a feeling.
Senryu tends to have a victim and may be humorous or irreverant trying to make a point.

More in the spirit of Masaoka Shiki...
lost feathers make way for new wings in new breezes no peacocks just humble creatures seeking their flight

The gentle suggestion of spring in the first was a nice surprise. I can relate to the second - as a humble creature seeking to write haiku!!! Thanks for sharing.
