Haiku

Explanation:

A haiku is a type of poem that originated in Japan. It consists of three lines that don't rhyme. In total, the poem has 17 syllables - the first line consists of 5, the second consists of 7, and the third consists of 5 syllables. The theme of nature is the most common in haiku poetry, with motifs like seasons, birds, leaves, and air being the most prominent.

The given poem should be written like this:

I saw two seagulls

And a red bird in a tree

Waiting there for spring

If we count the syllables, we can see that they follow the 5-7-5 pattern. The lines do not rhyme, and the theme is connected to nature. All of this proves that this poem is a haiku.
