Haiku
"Haiku" is a traditional form of Japanese poetry.
Haiku poems consist of 3 lines.
The first and last lines of a Haiku have 5 syllables and the middle line has 7 syllables. The lines rarely rhyme.
Here's a Haiku to help you remember:
I am first with five Then seven in the middle -- Five again to end.
Because Haikus are such short poems, they are usually written about things that are recognizable to the reader.
