Tried ChatGPT as well. total dud.
Here's my "human" one:
Long sought stamp acquired,
Dastardly space filled at last
Oh joy! - on to next!

At my work we have our own AI chatbot and I asked it to create a philatelic Shakespearian sonnet and this is what it came up with:
Thou collector of stamps, with joy thou art blessed
In tiny squares, the world's wonders appear
From distant lands, they come to thee abreast
To be admired, treasured, and held most dear
The art of philately, noble and grand
Unites the nations in a paper embrace
Each stamp a tale of a faraway land
A snippet of history, a moment's grace
Oh, how the collector doth carefully tend
To each precious stamp in their cherished hoard
In albums they're kept, their beauty to lend
A testament to the art they've adored
So here's to the collectors, faithful and true
Whose passion for stamps forever renew
Of course it is much more rewarding to make anything remotely like this yourself, but this has some kind of charm as well. I am amazed how it turned out. And it was much easier.
In response to J-S:
Off with the post..only politically correct, in the broader possible sense, poetry from now on.
rrr...
For the curious I will Private Message the Haikus that J-S quite correctly deemed as potentially divisive, a point I was trying to make about watching our every word to the point of staying away from the discussion board.
Politically correct, as inspected by humans but created by ChatGPT.
You can post a "human" haiku as well, if you feel poetic. I know you can do better than AI!
Note: Haiku here as defined by the 5-7-5 syllable, 3 sentences, it often captures a moment in nature, or expresses a fleeting emotion. Ideally it rhymes.
Hidden in a book
Rare stamp's delicate embrace
Collector's triumph
