Haikus are really great
But not in this board

(Also, how do you divide haiku? Hai-ku or ha-i-ku?)

It's pronounced Hai-ku

Some of us are still quite sane.
You can't prove we're not

-_-_-_-
This thread looks quite fun
I had not yet noticed it
I might read it all

Haikus are easy
English has so many words
Of one syllable
The act of all acts:
write a po'm of one-word wit.
Can it yet be done?

Oh, Auleliel.
You need not fear obsession.
We are all mad here.

Most of the time when
I am obsessed, I still can
think of other things.

I do not fear it.
I merely am surprised at
its intensity.

What you mean by that?
Would One-word wit weigh three words,
Just one for each verse

apparently, some
English haiku aren't as strict--
for example, this (http://www.americanhaikuarchives.org/curators/CorVanDenHeuvel-tundra.html)

School's gone for Christmas,
Feeling bored with no lessons.
Found a haiku thread.

Mithrysc, that poem
Took artistic licenses
To a new level.

A musical amateur who

The first line is five,
the second two longer,
last is as the first.

They rarely translate,
without syllable changes:
look at Japan's styles.

The poems* are a test,
the challenge of compression,
a disciplined way.

Stand Still, Stay Silent

* At least in my dialect, poem is pronounced "pow - M", rather than "powm".

I procrastinate
To read all these strange haikus
And I enjoy it

But I now observe
No one has been here for years
Tell me, why is this?

This thread is most best
Why has it been abandoned?
I am quite bemused.

I did not expect
to find this old dormant thread
and yet, here I am.

Now, three years later
a new haiku thread's begun.
Funny, how that works.

What do I see here?
Another thread for haikus?
One wasn't enough?

Now I understand
This was the original thread
And that's fine by me

Here lay the spot,
Where haikus were born,
Long forlorn.

Now and then come,
Visitors from afar,
From a new home.

My haikus sound terrible,
But hey, here I am,
Hope never dies.
