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.

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.

* 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
