A traditional Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry that consists of three lines. The first and third lines have five syllables, while the second line has seven syllables. Haiku poems often reflect on nature and the changing seasons, and aim to evoke a specific feeling or emotion in the reader.

Here's an example of a Haiku:

Winter snow falls fast
Blanketing the earth in white
Peaceful silence reigns

Why do Haikus have specific number of syllables? why it's specifically 5 and 7?

One theory holds that in the native Japanese language, the 5-7-5 structure works harmoniously to create a pleasing and musical cadence.
It has also been posited that even though English or other languages can follow the same syllabic structure, some of the Haiku essences are diminished.
