Culture Corner: The Haiku Thread

[Tentadrilus]

Yeah, you 'eard. It's a haiku thread.

Basically, for those unfamiliar with what a haiku is, it's a special type of poem. Manufactured by NONE OTHER than the JAPANESE, it's a short, three lined poem that follows a very specific syllabic pattern and rarely ever rimes. The pattern for a haiku is five syllables on the first line, seven on the second, then five again for the third. And now for a haiku about haikus.

This is a haiku
Five seven five, three lined poem
Does not have to rhyme

See? It's that easy.

Well, actually, it isn't. You must respond to the last post with a haiku. No slacking, now! I'll start.

So, I created
A haiku thread. For haikus.
Well, how about that?

Will read again, dawg.

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

I just played Bloodrose.
Elevator went back up.
Atholo has hacks.

 

[Borya]

If I could Haiku
I would have a nice responce
But my last line is always way too long

Edit: Once again
I try hard to write Haiku
Soft breeze brushes by

On a more serious note:

Briskly marching on
Necromantic armies pass
Daragoth in flames

Maldora watches
Proud of his great conquest
Malgoriand sneers

"I am him reborn!
This realm now belongs to me!"
Born again in rage

"The insolent fool!
This hubris shall be punished!"
Evil incarnates

Dark figure rises
Shadow befalls the armies
Bone is turn't to dust

All is desolate
The true conquest has begun
Shadowbringer walks

 

[Tentadrilus]

God damn, that was some
High class haiku-ing right there
Done this once before?

 

[Borya]

No, not exactly
I used to write quite poorly
D&D cures all
