The typical haiku has 5 syllables in the first line
7 syllables in the second line
5 syllables in the last line.
It has to be said that there are loads of haiku on the net that can't even be bothered to actually stick to the "rules." Just saying ! Here's a neat picture which tells you all about it, and it's a haiku as well !
Writing a Haiku .. or several of them.. of your own in Spanish is a do-able challenge for anyone above the absolute beginner level ... you don't need much ( or any) grammar, it doesn't have to be complicated .
Here's a few I made up ...at least I think I've stuck to the 5-7-5 syllable lines if nothing else.
Traditionally they often tend to describe a "frozen moment" like the first one below, often a situation or mood, like the fourth one, or maybe a sort of "universal statement" like the second one ... though of course they can be about anything.
The third one, unusually, is informative!
Son mariposas
y flores en el jardin.
Un benedición.
Y los planetas
están como esferas
existan lejos.
Las golondrinas
gorjearan. Vencejos
chillaran, gritan.
Soy viajante,
inoportuno, viejo,
todos los días.
So ... have a go at some Spanish ones .... I might even show you the Welsh and French ones I've done but you probably wouldn't be too impressed. And don't worry about making mistakes ..... the "fear of getting it wrong" is one of the biggest barriers to learning a language. I'll say it again ... a bit louder....

Well, good luck with that... now here's a smashing cover of Zahara's " Con las
Ganas" by Laura Taylor and Daniel López ..
