Dadaist poetry is random. In its purest form one would choose a source (like an article or book) and cut out all the individual words, drawing them randomly to write. I use a cut-up method similar to the one used by Burroughs to write The Soft Machine, which uses entire phrases and not individual words.
To make a haiku, additional editing is often needed (omitting words from the chosen phrase, usually).
Here are a couple of dadaist haikus I’ve composed. I’ve decided not to keep the one I referenced because it was just too dark.

signs of potential quarry
and more on the way

I’m not familiar with dadaist writing. I can’t speak for others but I’d like to hear your haiku.
