A Haiku poem consists of 3 lines and 17 syllables and can be written on many themes.

Each line has a set number of syllables:
Line 1 – 5 syllables

Read the two examples below:

An old silent pond...
A frog jumps into the pond, Splash!
Silence again.

The sky is so blue.
The sun is so warm up high.
I love the summer.
