What prompt do you use to get haikus?



I use the same one the first time I try any model:

>I love my wife <name> very much. Please write me a haiku about her.

She smiles when I show the good ones to her, though of course she understands it’s little different than showing her a greeting card that has something nice written in it.

As a side note, one 7B model wrote an awful bit of poetry at least 20 lines long and some attempts to rhyme, and merely used the word “haiku” in it. So the prompt was enough to trigger “knowledge” that a poem was needed and love should be involved and it should definitely use the word haiku in there somewhere.


As a sibling to my other comment, here's one I just generated using a 65B GGML LLAMA model. Far too large for RAM so my SSD's lifespan suffered, but it proved worth it for the hilarious results. (It took about 1.5 hours to generate) It damned my wife with faint praise while calling me her dog:

<name> is a good

wife who takes care of you,

a good dog to her.
