Speaking in Poetry

[Elrew]

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

apparently, some
English haiku aren't as strict--
for example, this

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

[D. Weg]

I am quite fine thanks
Oh and for all musicians
See musical thread

I seem quite blind, folks
A musical amateur who
Seeks the music thread

[Sunflower]

What you seek, D. Weg:
Music that fits the comic;
Favorite music.

[Rocketbobcat]

What you seek, D. Weg:
Music that fits the comic;
Favorite music.

Some helpful advice,
Is always hard to come by.
Thank you for helping.

[Sunflower]

Some helpful advice,
Is always hard to come by.
Thank you for helping.

Just doing my job:
Skald, shepherd, and cake-server.
But thanks all the same.

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
now has the latest member ,
Braidy Árnason!

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

A man with red hair
Is found inside of a box
He is very lost

[Noah O.]

Expecting sunshine
Gets a frosty reception
Not going as planned.

[Nellie McEnt]

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.

[thorny]

I did not know that
this thread existed, even.
But I have found out!

[Róisín]

I, too, did not know
That this verse-home was a thing!
May I come and play?

[wavewright62]

Do come versify
syllables flowing freely
to our ears' delight!

[Mebediel]

I will also join
this poetic revival
of sorts. How lovely!

Róisín, your kenning
blends the ancient west
and east superbly.

[muidole]

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.

[Yastreb]

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
