Slim branches reaching
Whispering many stories
To promising skies tonight.

Most popular definition, but there is more to haiku than meets the eye:
Haiku (also called nature or seasonal haiku) is an unrhymed Japanese verse consisting of three
unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables (5, 7, 5) or 17 syllables in all. Haiku is usually
written in the present tense and focuses on nature (seasons).
