Every board needs a haiku thread! [Prompt]

[Warren Castille]

[align=center]It is proven true

There should always be haiku

This even rhymes. ...shit.[/align]

 

Haiku! Short, easy and fun and a staple of every board that's any board, at least in my time on the internet. Don't worry about anything true-to-form; The beauty of nature is great and all, but I'm only asking for people to do some short and sweet 5-7-5 lines of poetic creativity.

 

For anyone who's unaware of what I mean, haiku are short poems composed of three lines. The first is five syllables long, the second is seven, and the last is five again. Read more about haiku here.

 

This is meant to be light-hearted fun. Tell a story. Frame a character. Inspire! Make us laugh! Write haiku!

 

[align=center]Another dud thread

This one might get some replies

I need alerts, folks[/align]

 

And now, for serious.

 

[align=center]Clutching fist to heart,

He remembers why he fights.

Unbreakable oaths.[/align]

[Dogberry]

[align=center]A weary sailor

Death comes so easy to him

Life is the hard part[/align]

[Unnamed Mercenary]

Here are a few. The last two would be considered IC even!

 

Went to the quicksand

My chat log was way to fast

I could not RP

 

Away from his home

in the Garlean Empire

Another ale please

 

Do you even know

what it is like to always

meet a person twice?

[Coatleque]

She waits for him now

One day her love shall return

How to pass the time?

[C'kayah Polaali]

Dragoon in a PUG

Runs to boss and stands right there.

Oh, he needs a raise.

 

C'kayah's brandy:

'Cos everyone needs a friend.

Even the villains.

[align=center]Stuck at the office. [/align]

[align=center]Wish I was home roleplaying. [/align]

[align=center]But now I will be[/align]

[align=center]Thinking of haikus all day. [/align]

[align=center]Uhmm.. Tanka tanka tanka?[/align]

[Mezzo]

rotting eyes still see / an invisible city / under starlit skies

[Elyscia]

I want some popcorn,

Because I am quite hungry

Sugar and butter.

[Eva]

Loss upon more loss

A reason to everything

Heartbroken faithful

[Warren Castille]

Torrential downpour.

Flash flood warning on my phone.

I just want my lunch.

[Whittledown]

[align=center]Open the chakra

Tear open the wounds of old

Terror is power[/align]

[Nero]

Obligatory

This is not a good haiku

Refrigerator

[Coatleque]

Floating asteroid.

Need to buy some school supplies

You're soaking in it.

 

(SGC2C reference...)

[Warren Castille]

[align=center]Justice? Or revenge?

Is there any difference?

All means to an end.[/align]

[Dogberry]

Row on poisoned tides

To cry out blood and thunder

Victory at sea

 

Eaten by raffy

Couldn't make it to the thorns

Sing "It Wasn't Me"

[chaoticsleepy]

[align=center]Life ebbing slowly. [/align]

[align=center]Flaming skies blaze infernal.[/align]

[align=center]Bahamut cometh...[/align]

[align=center]Waking up in a cold sweat,[/align]

[align=center]still haunted by fell nightmares.[/align]

 

( Tanka are great don't shoot me for cheating D: )

[Warren Castille]

[align=center]Moving north once more

Nothing can stand in our way

We are resolute.[/align]

 

Not a good work day

Kind of wish I was at home

Really miss my bed.

[Foforo Lunaforo]

I feel all alone.

My black heart is just so cold.

Arctic winter zone.

 

I used to write rhyming haiku's about a year or two ago. This is the only one I remember. I'm probably going to start this again.

[Guest Ragnar]

Empty bottle sits

All the vodka is gone now

My liver hates me

[D'ly]

Blistering metal--

As hot as the glaring sun,

plummets down to us.

 

Kweh, kweh, little bird.

Haul us all around the land.

You deserve a treat.

 

I have no idea what I'm doing.

TANKA BE EASY MODE, WATCH THIS CHOKA

 

[align=center]Floating lily pad,[/align]

[align=center]Waters crystal clear and bright,[/align]

[align=center]Rose of Azyema,[/align]

[align=center]Birds call from heavenly trees,[/align]

[align=center]Little croaking frog,[/align]

[align=center]Songs of worship to on high,[/align]

[align=center]Though the gods still stay silent.[/align]

[Warren Castille]

Just one day left now

This time tomorrow? Cruise ship!

So much alcohol

[W'seckhi Asah]

Eorzean-born

Betrayed his homeland, his tribe

For the greater good

 

Polite and helpful

Love of life and company

It is all a ruse

[Dogberry]

Disregard these things:

Tidings of Heaven's favor,

The grace of the king.

Words spoken aloud by fools,

Curses unspoken.

They can only hinder you

If you only choose to fail.

[Jancis]

Floating asteroid.

Need to buy some school supplies

You're soaking in it.

 

(SGC2C reference...)

Mantis, green and strong. 

Deadly pincers, razor sharp. 

Waiting for his chance. 

 

in meditation

watching water dancing

all in solitude
