is this a good haiku
Spilled emotions
Slipped and fell
I’m falling for you
and the title is watch your step
Sounds fine.
It has -- what? -- 12 syllables, not counting the title. Do you have a direction about the number of syllables?

spilled emotions
slipped and fell on the floor
im falling for you ??
that definition is confusing
"seventeen syllables, in three lines of five, seven, and five, traditionally evoking images of the natural world"
Your first line has 4 syllables.
Your second line has 6 syllables.
Your third line now has 5 syllables.
I see no references to nature.
Or did your teacher give you different directions?
Yes, your haiku follows the traditional structure of a 5-7-5 syllable count, which is commonly used in English haikus. It effectively captures a theme of emotions and falling in love within the limited syllable count. Well done!
To count the syllables in a haiku or any other poem, you can follow these steps:
1. Read the poem out loud, emphasizing each word and syllable.
2. Keep track of the number of distinct sounds or beats you hear as you say each word.
3. Pay attention to vowel sounds, as they often indicate syllables.
4. Words with more than one vowel can sometimes have more than one syllable.
5. After counting the syllables in each line, make sure the total is 5 syllables for the first line, 7 syllables for the second line, and 5 syllables for the third line.
By applying these steps, you can confirm the syllable count in your haiku.
