Hello everyone, me again.
 After participating in a talk in GC, i decided to write this thread about haikus. A haiku is a japanese poem with three lines in the following order

5 syllables
7 syllables
5 syllables

these are quite short poems, as evidenced, but they are usually very good, and many are very funny.
This thread is for you to write your own haiku and post it below. there is a very good website for writing haikus:

http://writeahaiku.com/" rel="nofollow - http://writeahaiku.com/

so here is my haiku,

Illy, oh Illy,
What a spectacular world
Live Long and Prosper


Please, post only one haiku per post, and wait a page or so before posting another (unless there is 24 hours of inactivity between your posts)


Good Luck

Illy moon bright. Shine on

Illy is the best,
It's better than the rest.
Rhyme, stupid third line!

I don't care that
haikus don't have to rhyme. 
I rhyme what I want!

There was another
haiku I wanted to do,
but I forget it.  

Things about Illy,
other random Illy things, 
can I be done now?

Lurking is the thing
That makes my heart pound and sing.
Goes back to lurking.

(Due respect to Badger7 who composed it but said I could claim as my own)

Be Water or sea
Be riding scout or a knight
All swim as a ship

Newbie haikus

Exodus research
Without my friends' caravans
Walk in the desert.

Elve's tears, deepsilver
Miners hoard relentlessly
They're nice to look at.

Gathering of rats
Turns fast into a legion,
Then my troops arrive.

To those that will boast.

Here are some Haiku's from Ec;ipse [MOON] for your amusement. I must say I think they are AWESOME!

HAMonia

Alliance Chat Beams

Our laughter echoes joyously

To the shadowed MOON

 

JodaMyth

All bow to the MOON

The place that makes Eri swoon

Down beneath the moon

 

Wartow (Written by Joda but I believe War deserves the credit)

 Watch Wartow run run

Cheer as Wartow has fun fun

Steal Wartows gum gum

 

 

Archimedes

"To the Moon, Warty"

Said one wolf to the other one

As the new moon rose

<BlitzMyth>
 I am the cookie
 Beaming under the moon see
 nom nom nom nom nom

Warm, yummy chicken.
A nugget, crisp and tasty
Digesting in me

Tacos sound real good
A lot better than heatburn
They are the same thing

Do some cows like to

Make weird structured poems

Like some humans do

He likes toast and jam

Mammoths are woolly
Pachyderms with attitude
Not like sheep at all
