A haiku is a form of traditional Japanese poetry consisting of three lines. The format of a haiku is quite specific:

1. The first line contains five syllables.
2. The second line contains seven syllables.
3. The third line contains five syllables again.

To write a haiku, you need to follow these guidelines and create a poem that captures a moment in nature, often emphasizing the season or a particular image. The goal of a haiku is to evoke a sense of emotion or reveal a deeper truth using concise language.

Here's an example of a haiku:

Autumn leaves falling (5 syllables)
Colors fading into gray (7 syllables)
Nature's cycle begins (5 syllables)

In this example, the haiku captures an image of autumn leaves falling and reflects on the cyclical nature of seasons. Remember to count the syllables carefully to ensure that each line adheres to the 5-7-5 structure.
