FF:QLD Haiku

(Sorry NMP, the interweb is not a truth telling machine - now you're lacking in syllables. To be accurate, you'll have to count em yourself. Sorry, I'm being pedantic, but I loves me some accuracy plz thx.)

(And yes you're completely right - I meant Captain Planet, not Power Rangers xO Ah well.)


"Spontaneous Combustion"

Cyclists they go boom
For no apparent reason
It's a mystery

(LC will get the joke )


"Jellyfish"

 

Boneless sea devils
Sting with test...uhh....tentacles
Ouch, I am wounded


Online RPGs

 

NMP, here are the basics, as told to me by Basho himself(in a dream of course)...
- 3 Lines
- 17 Syllables
- Line 1 has 5 syllables
- Line 2 has 7 syllables
- Line 3 has 5 syllables
- Rhyme not necessary



Consumes so much time
It's okay as an escape
Don't forget real life.

ok sure look I understand how the thing works, what we are suffering here is a difference of interpretation. I don't seem to count the same amount of sylables as everyone else (blame the other languages in my head if you must).

I tryed checking my sylables in the dictionary, but couldn't understand how to get the sylables out of the pronunciation key, tryed using the internet, but that was wrong too.

I bow out of this game, due to an interface error.


My little poems
are poiniant and sweet
haiku they are not
the specifications they dont meet.

 

Ghastly hair and smile
Cannot win ratings for quids
Karl almost as bad



'Wikipedia'

 

'Wikipedia'

Lots of great info
Saves time on my assignments
But most is about star trek

"Starship Enterprise"

 

Ship Commanded by
Captain William Shatner
It is coloured gray

Ronald D Moore

 

Ronald D Moore, his
Star Trek work, appreciate
before BSG!

 

Fishbulb you forgot
A subject for which to leave
for the next haiku

 

Ironic perhaps
That despite your reminder
Morgs, you too forgot.



"The Love Boat"

 

'twas merely a prompt
for GoobaFish to provide
a haiku subject [face_shrug]



a well known old show
on TV it did feature
that dream-boat of love



"Slow days"

 

Slow days, positive-
you get to enjoy the world
at your own leisure.




"Morgan"

 

Quaint British sports cars
With a wooden frame chassis
They're very 'old school'.

"Morgan(Aleghieri)"

 

Ah spontaneously combusting Cyclists What will they think of next *Explode*

"Morgan (Aleghieri)"

Rebecca Missy
Misael Mischa Bert
Rachel Bec Morgan

And in honour of the above Haiku the next subject is:

"Alias"

 

Heh, indeed.


Too many handles
Where did I get all these names?
You can call me Bec.


Secret agent gal
She once worked for Arvin Sloane
That's our Jen Garner



"Waffles"

 

"Waffles"

Little green Gir says
"You look like you need waffles"
At Pancake Manor

"Princess Leia"

 

Bagels in her hair
She resides in my wardrobe
My sweet cardboard slave.



"When Your Best Laid Plans Go South"

 

Pick up your pieces
Make plans for somethign better
Make sure you kiss ass


Teh Interweb

 

actually, the traditional form of haiky is two short lines followed by a third short line that is something obscure. eg:

spring brings snakes
and dragonflies on rocks
hope is green and yellow


Cheers, the pedant

 

the 7/5/7 pattern is the homogenised, pasteurised, simplified western version.

 

Simple things I like
Tradition too elitist
Obscure is too hard


General Zod

 

Rhymes with Cod
Was played by Terence
Fuzzy-Wuzzy was a woman.



"Hurt"

 

The world is wounded
At times I feel quite helpless
The River heals all.



"Dodgy Carnival Rides"

 

Lots of light and sound
Hide dodgy safety record;
Ground hurts on impact.


"Modern-day gizmos"

 

Fancy Technical
Dooby Wahackers that don't work
Not like the old days

Coffee
