Haiku (Inspired by a 2002 thread)
http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,459.0.html


Colossus depart
The Sathanas will kill you
Don't be a hero



Note: in that mission, the Colossus' "Negative command, we'll hold them here. Just get the Bastion through" or whatever the line is, is named "Up Yours".

 
Re: Haiku (Inspired by a 2002 thread)
Many a year ago,
there were only terries and fishes to go.
They fought and killed eachother
And blowed away one another.

But then, suddenly, the shivans arrived
Which seamt like they were hell-derived.
They annihilated human and vasudan alike
Blow after blow was a destructive strike.

Quickly, the two factions united
And modern technologys created
To destroy and beat the shivan threat
Human and vasudan alike had met

Then, however, the big mother came
The Lucifer was almost impossible to tame
Wave after wave of the united Navy
Were trashed by the Lucy not unlike to hay

The Galatea and it’s Ursas eventually
Destroyed the Lucy almost singlehandedly
Gruesome losses on side of the GTVA
Not many ships remained in their bay.

English is not my primary language, but I guess it's pretty nice.

IIRC it must be composed of 14 syllables in 3 lines or something like that.

Re: Haiku (Inspired by a 2002 thread)
3 lines, with 5, 7, and 5 syllables, in that order.

There is also a tanka form, which adds another two lines with 5 each to the end.

Okay, my poem is no Haiku. What do you think of it anyway?

vanquished was our race
never again to be seen

I came to this thread
To give you all a warning
Haiku's are evil

Take heed to my words
Haiku's will destroy your soul
Much like they did mine

This is my advice:
The use of true words is good
A cheater is you.
Although I must say,
It was amusing.
