Drive by Haiku! - Page 3

I shall stop this war
You will never defeat me
Your doomsday is nigh.

The battle will rage
And many shall die needless,
I shall be wounded

At first I'll seem dead
I'll have been near my demise
And you shall all cheer.

The bells shall all ring
And in the midst of it all
I will recover.

My wrath shall be great
Fire* shall flow (forth) from my hands
And you will all flee
*if fire is pronounced Fi-er, as is the dialect in West FL, leave "forth" out

You shall all unite
Bringing pitchforks and torches
Against my great wrath.

Again and again
You shall poke me and prod me,
Until I kill you.

Peace will reign again
And Haikus will be banned like
The nuclear arms.

See dear children why
Haikus should not be used in
attempts at a life.

Another epic battle has been fought and now you all shall bear witness:

It began with me:

the battle is joined
prepare yourself for defeat
en garde I say, friend

To which Funka responded

darkness overcomes
my enlightenment shattered
the dark side calls me...

Then the battle intensified with my reply:

I have something new
I think you shall enjoy it
the double haiku

Surely you shall fall
before this most mighty force
Two attacks in one

Funka responded in kind:

evil with it brings
a deeper type of power
mercy, it has none

dancing little pawn
on stages meant for betters,
we all play along...

Then we continued increasing by on Haiku each time:

dark today I see
your haiku power grows more
You may join me soon

fear and loathing flee
the darkness consumes Haiku
greater power it brings

forward I push through
The dark deepens around me
this dance continues

------------------------

all light again lost
no lanterns on lonely paths
withering deceit

might lucidity
be only a forebearance?
madness only truth

dark insanity
which calls me with baited breath
its hunger, endless...

-----------------------

Welcome to my world
Insanity is the surface
The maze awaits you

Show no fear and pass
Your acceptance is assured
Follow the quite voice

Deeper shall you fall
and greater shall you be
Dark pheonix rising

Reborn in dark fire
Your life cast aside forever
join the ranks friend

-----------------------

tempered by these fires
dwelt within a black milieu
my ghosts, they thirst for...

everything I am
these pieces they have left me
shall be their defeat!

I am not whole yet
just shadows slowly forming
strength still lies within

darkness lusts for me
once held me in its rapture
yet heros can't die!

--------------------------

This was meant to be
Do not fear to be consumed
Haiku's darkness thirsts

You think you resist
Just ripening you are to taste
the darkness has you

heros fall to it's might
Trampled and forgotten now
you time is upon us

Join now or be crushed
This force you can' not resist
Release your fear, friend

Heroic ideas
they must be set aside now
you must follow me

-----------------------------

ah, but having seen
the wretched other side, I
can never go back!

ideals are nothing
a heros might is his soul
shining brighter still

legends only know
of the plights of worthy men
I am legend'ry

power has no worth
in hands so black as the ones
you clench so fiercely

defeat I may face
never shall I bow to you!
seek a hero's death!

And once again we arrive at a draw. The war rages on...

Funka Genocide · 01-17-2005, 11:08 AM

and so, the legendary Haiku Hero traveled the dangerous pathways of NPF, challenging worthy foes along his way...

Elminster Aumur had lain a challenge before our hero, and was smote verily!

when the din has calmed
and chaos relents its hold
face haiku's reaper!

and then Wandering Actor was met upon the road

so sexy it hurts
those who gaze upon your frame
haiku needs no eyes!

and the villainous SephirothSama!

Cloud Strife's nemesis
and master of great artwork
Sephiroth Sama!

when finally he came across the monstrous Shiney!

I was kind of scared
to send you a kaiku, doh!
nervously misspelled!

who replied...

Hah! SUCK it.

sending our hero spiraling into defeat!

so, defeated and alone, what will our hero do? stay tuned!

adamark · 01-17-2005, 11:25 AM

i thought haikus had to be about nature

Elminster_Amaur · 01-17-2005, 02:12 PM

Dear, dear Funka G...

Ah, what a young man.
He does not quite understand.
I already won.

Your flesh has been seared
Your mind will fall a'crumbling
Like Ben Kenobi.

Yoda would say this:
On the path to the dark side,
Are you, Apprentice.

You attacked me with
More anger than skillfulness
And became reckless.

I feigned my defeat
And you went on to Shiney
You are now in death.

I warned you of this
To me you did not listen
Shiney killed you first.

I now defile you.
Your corspe is filled with my bile.
I gave just warning.

Packman · 01-19-2005, 11:43 PM

Can someone please explain the Format and other rules for a Haiku. I cant remember three years agao when I we covered poetry in my English III class.

Thanatos · 01-20-2005, 12:30 AM

Ah my dear Elminster;

Shot Down in the Night
By the power of my line
Haiku shall be your end.

For I carry here
the ultimate weapon
the seven shooter

Seven stanzas all
line by line I shoot you down
I am the master.

And once you are gone
My work shall just be started
one by one you'll fall

Funka G, you'll be next
perhaps you'll fall to the eight
or maybe even more.

Who will be the next
I just do do not know
I'd just watch my back

Bang Bang Elminster
with the power of my line
Now you have been shot down.

*******
Packman, it depends on who you ask. Most will say its three lines of 7/5/7 syllables. However that rule applies to Japanese Onji. English haiku should be three lines short long short totaling no more than 17 syllables.

Reconsider that
For it is five-seven-five
Glad to have helped!

Funka Genocide · 01-20-2005, 05:43 AM

taking advantage of our heros wounded state, a few errant souls decided to attack! much to their dismay...

Thanatos delivered a stunning combination attack, as did Rayinne!

There is no way out.
haiku rends all realities
even N.P.F.

Lo, five-seven-five
is the number of our doom.
Screw that devil guy.

But no one thought to
drive-by haiku one less known.
A foolish mistake.

A crazy Lainie
unworthy to be smited.
One who lurks all day.

Now, taste my power!
All of you, eat poetry!
No one shall survive!

Wait, what just happened?
I am not an evil one!
Why did I attack?

Now sounds the war gong.
I have to run for my life.
Shit, I'm gonna die!

both were met in kind!

to Thanatos...

no winter covers
in an endless sea of white
with no sound hereafter

the songs they sing, stark
as these lines of red they run
against the opaque

backdrop unending
the horrid sound of laughing
they call from beyond

join in agony
a chorus of the damn'ed
in coldest silence

and weep tears of blood
for a future never seen
your time is over

and then Rayinne...

your skills show promise
the lurkers road you've travelled
the poets way now...

my haiku madness
has led me deep within I
forsaking all else

I did not miss you
so much as forget to strike
choose your own demise?

one final word now
on the topic of yourself,
your comic was great!

and still they come...

StabbityMage received a visit from the haiku master one dark night as well!

fear my haiku wrath!
some jokes about your mother
now I'll go to sleep

Wandering Actor and SephirothSama admitted defeat gracefully. :p

Awesome in my book!

where will our heros journey lead?

destiny is writ
on stars so vibrantly shining
as to be unseen...

I am dyslexic
But as I said the numbers
do not matter

It could be of length
three six four is still right
long short long is the rule
