Full Version: Haikus Anyone?
MechScape World > Community > Literature
Matt
I know you all love Haikus! If you don't know what they are it's a type of poetry with 3 lines. The first and last line have 5 sylabals (sp?) The middle line must have 7 sylabals. Ex:

shoes tap silently
through the darkened city streets
unnoticed by all

Post yours! come up with some on the spot!

Plummeting downward,
The U.S. economy,
It is failing quickly.

Man, I am so bored.
Saturdays can be so dull.
Is it Sunday yet?

Darkended dreams
become modern grapes of wrath
reaping a bitter wine.

Gently waking up,
remembering ones past dreams,
as experiences

Haikus are awesome.
But sometimes they don't make sense.
Refrigerator.
Man
I am not sure.
How the hell do I write haiku.
ihop for breakfast.

MechScape is coming.
I hear fantastic stories.
I wait patiently.

Burning so brightly,
A phoenix born from ash,
Returning from death.

Fire burning within
Consuming everything
One thing lives, Mechbot !

Jagex has done it.
The Wilderness is dead now.
RuneScape is ruined.

Once upon a time,
there was a lovely princess.
She was so divine.

Isn't the last line supposed to explain what the first two are talking about?
Max
I arrive alone.
Meet new people as I post.
My friends list grows long.
----
I go inactive.
I come back just before the change.
Sudden chaos,
----
RedFire is here.
I am now moderator.
Hordes of mergers,
----
protests from members,
in the arrival of PoutryChamp.
My rank is removed,
----
I leave angerly.
PoutryChamp takes leadership.
RedFire is removed.
----
I arrive again.
Posting and happy as can be,
rank reinstated.
----
The new year arrives.
Community growing growing stronger,
we wait for MechScape.
----
Contest, debate, talk
Anything to past the long wait.
MechScape is so near.


I challange for someone to string haikus together (5-10 perferably).
Stellar
To Max, who challenged someone to write a story out of haikus. biggrin.gif

Okay, lets try it out. Here is my story. I tried to rhyme the last word of the first and third sentence.




If only she knew.
She would love me forever.
Our life's would be new.

Though she sees me blind.
She doesn't know who I am.
I am not her kind.

The life we would keep.
She holds silence in her hands.
Would not be for weak.

The world would freeze time.
She would reach out to my hand.
Her grace so divine.

This love I ponder.
She won't see me as her own.
To be no longer.

My life without her.
She has my life on her hands.
I, six feet under.

I wake up one day.
It is bright all around me.
In the stars, I lay.

In heaven one day.
She gave me a life again.
Now she cries and prays.


Edit: Read over it, and realized that is was crappy. Oh well.
