DDO Haiku

[SniptheShadow]

We all wrote haiku poems as a kid, right?

Well, maybe not everyone but they are easy to do.

The way I was taught as a child was to write them in three lines. The first line has five syllables, the second line has seven and the third and last line of the haiku has five syllables again. And they are always about nature and the natural world.

That's one way to write them. The Beat poets experimented in other ways later. For the real deal, for the true Japanese Haiku you can check the wiki here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku

but for this this thread all that is needed is for it to be about DDO. If you can work in nature as well that's awesome.

I'll get us started with a few:





two moons in the sky
I sharpen my Vorpal blade
whetstone grinds at night



The Cult of the Six
Fire Wall, Good Hope & Haste
bloody Sorrowdusk



Where has Nat Gan gone?
I miss his repeating act
standing on a stick



Undead of Stormreach
it really is out of hand
clogging every tomb



The Menechtarun
sand slides and pours through dead bones
skeletons rising



the Phoenix Tavern
a Dirty Kobold from Cog
so busy Thursdays



Airships in the sky
bound Elemental insane
waiting to break free



Where are the Druids?
such an Eberron staple
tired of waiting



A plus three Con Tome!
Who would really eat a book?
nomnomnomnom -- burp



held breath, dancing eyes
you open the treasure chest
pretties on velvet




Give it a try. I find writing this way very meditative and it is easy to catch the pattern.

Thanks.
