How odd. Googling for "haskell haiku TMR" brings up that PDF as the first hit for me.
Yes, but: 1) you could formulate that query only if you already knew TMR had haikus to look for. 2) The Google results are changing as we speak. I did another search for "Haskell haiku", and now I see, about 40 or 50 hits down, an email replying to a TMR ANN and praising the haikus. Further, I see this email thread, some mirrors, and the Haiku page on the wiki have popped up in the search results already, and in the top 20 or so. Further still: one high-up hit is an IRC log of #haskell, covering the haiku I found in lambdabot's @quotes database. I *know* that was not there when I was looking for haikus (before I wrote the page and started this thread).
