Title: The Tremulous Haiku Thread
Post by: Atom Eve on February 15, 2008, 10:32:15 pm
The lone granger purrs.
His spit slowly breaks turrets
left from battles lost.

Luci cannons spark.
Sending forth their deadly load.
Many explosions.

Dretches on the floor.
Tyrants blocked by such small friends.
Soon the dretches fly.

Use 5-7-5.
Write some Tremulous haiku.
And feel free to post.

Small aliens crowd.
Eagerly awaiting their potent sting.
The booster has been sawn.

I think this was used
In another thread somewhere
but this is very fun


Tyrants scourge the hills
o'er rise strike many men
guns blazed, aliens fell.., down

As the swarms approach
the man cried of broken friends,
let them die, all die

Mother, while we have
one hundred enemies, we
have one thousand friends

techhead is cool guy
he gives his blessing to n00b
who did not use "search"

or perhaps she adds
a new twist to what's become
a boring dead thread

i relish the chance
to thrill yet again to the
rhythms of haiku
Title: Re: The Tremulous Haiku Thread

this is the same thread
made by another person
I do not know why
Title: Re: The Tremulous Haiku Thread
Post by: Atom Eve on February 16, 2008, 02:38:00 pm
Resurrecting a
thread that has died months ago can
lead to many flames.

Jetters in the sky,
Thinking themselves safe from harm,
The goons disagree.

"Jetpacks are too strong!"
Cried a n00b last week; I said,
"Please go play some more."

Atom Eve is new
At the Trem.net forums, so:
We'll cut her some slack.

I like maps by Trak.
Easter Eggs make me smile, Bud;
You know where I am.

Of course I had to
Edit my post because Eve
Likes to punctuate.

He does not grok poetry
I feel much pity

Baffled by technology,
You ponder the mystery of spell checkers.
The correct spelling is "speech".

You can't fix forum spelling.

Did I write these wrong? Never wrote a Haiku before.
oh, I did do them wrong, heh I thought it was 5,7,5 words..

The darkness has set in,
Hindering movement with the rapid infestation everywhere,
The human is still trapped,


Darkness has set in,
Hindering movement
Human still trapped


The bright and shiny lucifer
Why are you so pretty, you temptress
I cannot help but chase


Bright, shiny lucifer
temptress, so pretty you
cannot help, chase

(I'll fix these later)
The guardian, the protecter, defender
Never tiring, watching, waiting and striking quickly,
Known to many as Camper

Sitting quietly in the distance
A dretch, believing itself to be microsopic
In the distance, dead dretch
Title: Re: The Tremulous Haiku Thread
Post by: kozak6 on February 19, 2008, 05:18:40 am
The dretch hides above
An unobservant human
Carelessly runs past.

The dretch drops, silent.
Headbite- one evo is gained.
The dretch hides again.

Ah- evolution!
A basilisk skitters on.
Next stop- destruction?

A human is grabbed.
As the 'lisk gently tickles,
The human is doomed?

Three minutes later
The human is still alive.
The 'lisk tickles on.

Reinforcements loom.
The human has summoned aid.
The 'lisk is blasted.

/quit is slammed roughly.
Angry swearing is present;
Unfit for forums.

There is some comfort;
The poor basilisk is buffed
In the next version

I, Haiku patrol
Come to show you the error
Of your haiku ways

Several haiku, see original post
I think you should know
All your haiku have mistakes
But you can fix them

Your write good haiku
They make quite a nice story
But two have mistakes

Players looking for room.
A Nonexistent path.
Mapper laughs out loud.
Two lines of haiku
They each have six syllables
And you wrote just one

I have a feeling
That I might make a mistake
And get so busted
Title: Re: The Tremulous Haiku Thread

Watch the dretches go,
rushing to the human base,
where turrets await.

I spot bad Haiku
So if you make a mistake
Now you know better

And use some grammar
Those shortcuts in your typing
Destroy poetry

The point, I think, is thus:
Show them the errors they made
Therefore, quotes are good.
Title: Re: The Tremulous Haiku Thread
Post by: kozak6 on February 20, 2008, 07:22:57 am
My mistakes are caught
By techhead the proofreader.
I have one question:

What is the problem
With the first verse you cited?
It seems fine to me.

The second mistake
Is quite obvious to all.
Consider it fixed.
Title: Re: The Tremulous Haiku Thread
Post by: snb on February 20, 2008, 09:36:36 pm
Rocinante s error
he says not to make errors
he's a hipocrit

that is the error
too many syllables there
six is too many!

rocinates error
he says not to make errors

Perhaps I would care
If you even spelled my name right
Honestly, I don't.

Title: Re: The Tremulous Haiku Thread
Post by: techhead on February 21, 2008, 12:03:47 am
I was in error
It was a simple miscounting
'Basilisk' is odd

Roc' please inform me
Four syllables in your name?
If so, snub goofed

Hah, you silly fool
Quoted for truth pre-edit.
You missed "hypocrite"

Roc' please inform me

Yes, there is that too
Rocinante has four beats
Pot? Kettle.  Hi there.

Plus, please find for me
Where I said not to error;
I advocate quotes.

A dretch fell to the glow
A dragoon lived more
Not another one.
First two lines each have six beats.
Why does this happen?

N00bs complain about
Being treated poorly on
Some random server (http://tremulous.net/forum/index.php?topic=7486.0).

Others start clans that
Consist of only themselves (http://tremulous.net/forum/index.php?topic=7487.0)
They too are too new.

Maybe this (http://tremulous.net/forum/index.php?topic=6449.0) should be
Not just a proposal, dude
But a sticky thread.
Title: Re: The Tremulous Haiku Thread
Post by: techhead on February 23, 2008, 02:21:30 am
I am a whole clan
But I did not feel the need
To tell the whole world

Why did I do it?
I think Techhead looks too short
Sitting by itself

But I do digress
Why talk about my exploits?
When I can hear yours

Castlevania III
Is a most excellent game
On the NES

Grant is a pirate
Who plays just like a ninja
I think I'm in love

He is immune to
the ol' "Curse of the Belmonts"
Air control is sweet
