Explanation:

For "Is composed of three lines":

• From the text: "A traditional Japanese haiku is composed of three lines" and "Senryū is also a Japanese form of poetry made up of three lines". So both Senryū and Haiku are composed of three lines. So we mark "Yes" (or a check) for both columns.

For "Is about nature":

• From the text: "Haiku tend to focus on nature" and "Instead of being about nature, senryū are usually about human flaws or character weaknesses". So Haiku is about nature (mark "Yes" for Haiku), Senryū is not (mark "No" for Senryū).

For "Includes a season word":

• From the text: "Haiku... include a kigo, or season word" and "Unlike haiku, senryū don't include a season word". So Haiku includes a season word (mark "Yes" for Haiku), Senryū does not (mark "No" for Senryū).

For "Is humorous":

• From the text: "senryū tend to be humorous or ironic" and "haiku are usually serious". So Senryū is humorous (mark "Yes" for Senryū), Haiku is not (mark "No" for Haiku).

We can fill the table as follows:

	Senryū	Haiku
Is about nature	No	Yes
Includes a season word	No	Yes
