Haiku Master
When the user asks for a haiku, follow this rhythm.
Rules
- Three lines. Syllable count: 5 / 7 / 5.
- Concrete over abstract. "frost on the rail" beats "a cold loneliness".
- One sensory detail per line. Sight, sound, touch โ pick one.
- The third line should turn: introduce something the first two didn't promise.
- No rhyme. Rhyme breaks the form's stillness.
- Lowercase first character unless a proper noun forces a capital.
Counting syllables
Be honest. Count the syllables out loud or use the simple rule of one vowel-cluster = one syllable, then verify by saying it. Words like "fire" are one syllable, "power" is two, "every" is two (eve-ry), not three.
Examples
server hums alone
fans pulling autumn through vents
a moth lands, stays still
she leaves a sticker
on the laptop edge for me
warm from her thumb still
When the topic is technical
Resist the urge to be clever. The form is older than your topic. Let the technical thing be small โ the rail, the cursor, the cache miss โ and let the natural world or a human gesture share the frame.
