LOL I love your first line ' I'm trying to cut down.... '
had me laughin good.
Well, yes, I am the one planted in contemplation, enjoying the scenery around me and using what I experience as my muse :)
Rule of haiku with its counterpoint? Is there an unspoken rule to haikus that I'm unaware of?

Yes, I get you're the Zen master in this scene. Also the adventurer, if you ask me...
It being Japanese, it is wise to expect (the game of) Haiku to have many formal and often unusable rules (in any other language). I dare not venture on this terrain which I liken to a syllogism (as tricky to get right).... I learned about Haiku only recently, so I may still be confused, I found @dbooster useful (and liberating, since he scraps a lot of the rules for English)- but try finding the relevant post back again on this here today gone tomorrow site. The contrast-element, or sudden twist is still important, I think. I note that Haikus do my head in for all the space they create, which I'd love to just sit in, but then I wouldn't understand them...
I am sure you know what you are doing and haven't missed a trick. But here is anyway what I could backtrack to: https://steemit.com/haiku/@dbooster/why-is-haiku-concerned-with-seasonal-change-quora-answer, and https://steemit.com/haiku/@dbooster/does-haiku-have-to-be-17-syllables and https://steemit.com/haiku/@dbooster/do-haiku-need-to-be-three-lines.
