Two extra verses?!
Each one seven syllabled...
Some kind of variant?

If it is I want to try,
But if not just let me know...
It is a tanka.
5-7-5, like haiku,
Then 7-7.

'Twas just a question.
A simple question indeed,
Now a whole thread t'see.

That's how it all grew.
Ah - this is tanka
You do five, seven, five then
Seven and seven

It adds a dimension that
makes it more free (I think so)

[edit:
Nordlys explained it
Much quicker than me (always)
She is very good (🙂)

Now I know its name,
But haiku still seems more fun
Is it just habit?

Anyway thank you Nordlys,
And to all haiku posters!

No worries reader
Your contribution is missed
But we will wait here.

(You usually have some
good insights worth waiting for)

This thread needs a bump,
So I'm naming this Haiku,
"Thread that needs a bump"

recursive haiku:
one that refers to itself
like this - see line 1

Meaningless haiku:
Nothing worth telling at all.
But the count is right.

Caught myself thinking
In haikus while on the train...
Am I addicted?...

Here we speak haiku,
Or sometimes we use tanka...
But not to be rude

I will answer your question:
I may say yes, oh fine sir!

Procrastination -
It is my way of being.
Quite unproductive...
