A haiku thread? Haiku is that?

Let's see how creative our members are in a random haiku thread. "But Mulley, I don't know how to write a haiku!" you exclaim, extremely distraught. "Not to worry my little Haikulet, writing a haiku is simple. There are three lines to a haiku and there are five syllables on the first line, seven on the second and five on the third. There are more advanced forms and definitions, but we'll keep it simple for today's lesson. Perhaps a haiku about haiku will help ease your angst."

Use five syllables
then with seven syllables
finish with five more

"But what should I write my haiku about?" you ask, starting to feel comfortable with the idea of writing in sentence fragments of odd-numbered syllables. "That part is simple. Go to the random article generator on Wikipedia and write a haiku about the article/subject that you are sent to."

Now go, my little Haikulets, make sweet syllable love to the world!

p.s. You know you loved the pun in the thread title! :bigsmile:

Look at the one in my sig or in Rantzien's 'Gaiku' thread for now. I'll think some new ones up later.

Even better:

Guilty Gear XX
I play as Bridget
...hey, hey, wait, she has a what!?
Wow, this is awkward.

Etrian Odyssey, part 1
We're on our way out
From fighting in the forest
...oh smurf, F.O.E.

Etrian Odyssey, part 2
Oh, it's just a deer
This will be no problem at--
Damn it, we're all dead.

Portal
Speedy thing goes in
Orange portal to blue portal
Speedy thing comes out

Halo 3
Standing on my face
Up down up down up down up
Hey you, knock it off.

Final Fantasy VII
A long black trenchcoat,
Silver hair, mommy issues
And yet you like him?

Guitar Hero 3
Let's try expert mode!
I picked "Through the Fire and Flames".
My fingers hurt now.

Touhou 6: The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil
At last you reach her
A psychotic young lady
You don't continue

Touhou 7: Perfect Cherry Blossom
Phantom butterflies
Alternate from straight to swirl
Before blossoms bloom.


There.

Summer '96
A few Olympic medals
Iran wrestled well

Barbara Byrum
67th represent
Vote for Barbara!

I didn't see the gen gaming haiku thread. xD

Oh well, maybe some people will enjoy this one that missed the last one.

Mapinfo Interchange Format
All eight syllables
Impossible to insert
I managed it though

Haikus are about weather
from what I have heard before
but this one is not! :D

That's 19 syllables, Kentarou. :p

You need to learn to count. :p:p:p:p:p:p

Different forms are cool,
Perfectly acceptable--
Just like a snowflake.

Snowflakes are evil
they bring death and disease to
innocent rubah

Disappointment Islands

There's no water there
What a sad name for a place
I would not go there

Fiddle de dee do what
You want cause a Pirate is
Free you are a Pirate

I sincerely doubt
the weather will pick up soon
and not rain on me.

I thought it was more
Different, three syllables
I guess I was wrong.

Destiny Island
Gather Coconuts and rope
Don't forget keyblade

Mortal Kombat 3
up up down down left right block
Animality

She said "Paulo Lies"
Let's bury her rotten corpse
(It was "Paralyzed" :laugh:)

Dogs sleep anywhere
On the table, on the chair
Wake them if you dare

First haiku I ever wrote. Still have the piece of paper from school with one of those generic "well done" stickers on it lying around somewhere.

:monster:

Here is a set of four that I wrote up :p

Flowers falling down
Caught in the winds calm embrace
Over a mute lake.

The willows weep green
The flower weeps in deep pink
The heart in blood red.

From the eye above
To the smile far down below
Serenity’s love.

With natures balance
Just like that of Yin and Yang
Beauty comes of two.

Rune Hauge
Norwegian agent
for the great sport of football.
He is quite obscure.

Wolfgang Cutler
Character in Oz,
Quite the douchebag, I have heard.
Damned Aryan Union.

Reignac-sur-Indre
Small commune in central france
Nothing else to say

Such a manly man
Ernest William Lyons Holt
The man loved his fish!

1999
June Bremen state election
Dr. Scherf wins it.

Dolentrean rocks
Has he mentioned he's awesome?
Quite good looking too

Some competition
for the poem DD wrote
for his sweet resha.

It just isn't right.
But one of the worst lives is mine.
I suffer daily and every time.
I cry for freedom I cry for help.
Yet my calls are not answered.
But you Resha you are my light.
So shine on my life and let me fight.
And we shall go to lands unknown.
Hand in hand with a lovers bond.
Do you wish this or do you not?
Do you want to save me?
If you do then take my hand.
And my misery shall be banned.
So come Resha do you accept me?
As your soul mate to make life an ease.
Or shall you banish my heart to misery.

My haiku is done
Too many syllables it has
My dreams are crushed now. :(

Aren't haiku supposed to be about nature?

The forest stands tall,
but it won't be there for long,
arson is coming.

Delicious tuna,
I could eat it every day,
wait, this is dolphin.

Ack! A bear attack!
No, you can't have my sandwich!
Where is my bear spray? ;_;

[q=Bowser]Like the moon over
the day, my genius and brawn
are lost on these fools.[/q]

Seven syllables.
Before that, five syllables.
Also, after that.

R. "Ringo" Starkey
Not a very good drummer
But he got lucky

18 syllables. :tongue:

Haikus are too tough
The syllable count is odd
and my brain hurts lots!

I wonder if denffe quoted mr. bowser's haiku because of the word genius, because if you said it geen-yus, then it's properly 7.

however, gen-i-us would make it 8.

genius - Definitions from Dictionary.com - 2 syllables.

How many syllables is mega?

Sometimes seventeen
Syllables ain't enough to
Express a complete

I did not write that myself for the record.

*deletes random copying spam throughout forums*

Knock it off you two.

I saw this, or something like it on a shirt before. I don't remember what it exactly said.

Haikus are pretty
But sometimes they make no sense
Refrigerator

Possibly random?

i cannot stand it
this gum on my shoelace tie

This really depends on how you pronounce "Patricia", but whatever.

First Lady of Idaho.
Well...not anymore.
