Andrew, you took the easy way out, I bet you can't come up with a haiku to explain a haiku. Therein lies the challenge.

Here is a post about the difference between subjective and objective art, where I use the objective nature of a haiku to explain the difference. Maybe this will help you understand a haiku.
Think of it as a simple objective poem, where the beauty of a haiku lies both in it's simplicity and in the visualization of it by the individual.
