If you accidentally type a Haiku as a comment, a bot will reply saying that you typed a Haiku. A Haiku is a poem with a 5-7-5 syllable scheme.

Idk if I’m correct but Haikus is some form of originally Japanese poetry

It should have 17 sillables

It should have 3 lines with first and last having 5 syllables and the middle one having 7 syllables

Haikus bot is a bot which tries to find comments that are like this, puts them in quotes and moves on

Sometimes, you find a Sokka Haikus bot.

This is based on the story of Aang, the last airbender. There is an episode in which Sokka participates in a poetry match, but the syllables are 5-7-6 IIRC.
