What's a Haiku?

I'm not a trained poet. I don't know the difference between a iambic whatever and a sonnet. Let me show my lack of education.

 

If I only knew
What a haiku really was
I’d try to write one.

# Express a single mood or emotion in your haiku. Think about a common experience or sight in a new and different way.
# Some writers incorporate a pause into the poem, indicated by the use of a colon, semicolon, hypen or elipses. This helps to focus attention on the insight your poem presents.
# The classic haiku theme is nature and many traditional Japanese haiku contain seasonal words and images like falling snow, twinkling fireflies, an emerging crocus or leaves blowing in the wind.

You did well, don't know why I give you the meaning taken from the internet when you have mastered the Haiku.
