A Haiku Challenge?
by Steve Gibson, Mar 04, 2001 6:51am PSTThose silly guys at 3DAP actually think they can out-haiku the gamers here. What kind of nerve does it take!? We all know that the haiku masters reside here in our humble little corner of the web. I invite you guys to prove them wrong this weekend, and I'll start it off with my lyrical stylings:
Shoot the hostage dude! Flashbang your own team, it rocks! You suck the poo poo.

To balance the load.

To Bring Haiku to the Shack
by lurker, et al
Once I saw a star.
That star must have been taken.
My wish was not heard :(
I followed the star.
I wanted to punch its face.
Then a barn hit mine.
'Where the hell am I?'
I saw the Comfort Inn sign.
It ran: "Oops! No rooms"
I spied a baby.
Wrapped in cloth and hay, he cried.
I bought a rattle.
I walked up to him.
Frankincense, myrrh, and rattle.
Gifts for wailing kid.
He turned, and then said,
"Your wish will never come true"
In his best Cagney.
Resisting one urge,
I called him a jackanape.
His face was unharmed.
That was years ago,
But still I'm faced with a quest:
To bring the haiku.
One year and three months.
That's how long it took last time.
Gods! Please hear my plea!
Vantage will tell you.
He'll talk of figures and graphs.
Posting will increase.
Others will tell you.
They'll talk of signal and noise.
Worthless posts abound.
Others still may talk:
"Haiku is pure, just, and good."
They are me; I, them.
We need more haiku.
Though it'd be funny to see,
Haikus do not flame.
We'll join hand in hand,
And spread haiku through the land.
Or maybe we won't.

Maybe tomorrow.

I wish I were around to
post, but I dozed off.
Trapper wants some of my food.
I cannot resist...
Gasp! A quandary!
I may have been counting wrong.
Is ">:(" one syllable?*
*This is a rip-off.
Who wrote the original?
Still, I am sorry.
Calm, quiet, almost perfect.
Then cars messed it up >:(
Picnicking in parks.
What a perfect afternoon.
All you need is food.
Leading cause of cavities.
Choc-late is better.
Haven't had supper.
Visions of mushrooms haunt me.
I must eat pizza.
I am sad I missed Aku.
But we'll meet again.
I used fine paper.
I don't need the extra fine--
Got my money's worth!

One time I ate a big hunk.
Don't tell! It was poo.
The world powers should embrace
The art of haiku.
My friends are all safe--
Akumajo, Klerck, dognose.
Time for post-whoring!
They have one hundred and eight.
This will not take long.
Counting the haiku,
They have one hundred and twelve.
We have ninety-one.*
Now to check for form.
I noticed some cheaters there.
Those 'haiku' don't count.
*at the time of post.
Now the count is upped by three.
Or wait, make that four.

We need nineteen more pages.
Then we'll live like kings.
My needs are very simple:
Shack, games, and haiku.
Imagine the missing ones.
That's why flat mode owns.
