Feel free to make changes to this starter code to generate a Haiku and ASCII art. The below code consists of two main parts:
Generating a Haiku: The generate_haiku function creates a simple haiku using pre-defined lists of phrases that correspond to the traditional 5-7-5 syllable structure of haikus. This function randomly selects one phrase from each list to construct the haiku.
Visualizing the Haiku: The visualize_haiku function uses matplotlib to create a visualization of the generated haiku. It sets up a figure with a custom background color, hides the axes for a cleaner look, and displays the haiku text in the center with a styled bounding box around it.
