While they’ve not actually used it for several years the thing that Habeas will be remembered for is their introduction of the Haiku form of poetry into email headers:

winter into spring
brightly anticipated
like Habeas SWE ™

How better to commemorate that than with some email themed Haiku?

Some email delivery folks have provided these to start you off:

Goodbye Habeas.
What have you left? Just footprints
in snow as spring comes.

Commercial Email,
Confirmed and opted-in,
Clicked and opened.

Creative content,
If not blocked or bulked,
Then inbox-receiv’d.

spam is really dumb
it makes our lives really hard
it will never leave

spammers are dumber
especially if client
need to be fired

MickC has one too, a “bye-ku“.

Can you do any better? Bonus points for a 5, 7, 5 syllable pattern and some reference to a time of year…

Goodbye Habeas.
What have you left? Just footprints
in snow as spring comes.
