I think Haiku is a valid art form and the artistic expression of the members would not be ban-worthy.

Well until some writes the folling haiku:

Spam spam spam spam spam.
Spam spam spam spam spam spam spam.
Spam spam spam spam spam.

Poetry is art.
Moving to the Art section.
Deleting all spam.

Edit - All cleaned up, bring on the HS Poetry!!!

Edit by ODB - turned statement to Haiku with minimal editing :wink:

Like a butterfly
He floats gayly above the ground
Mystical Taelord :P

I cost way to much
But can take a few punches
Taelord has an Aura?

Take that UD :p

Niner thinks he is so finer, with that spining dule shot mini,
but he does not see, that epicness will be, the cause of his downfall into insanity. Now its far to late for him, tiss true, for I have eaten him.

For my Creativity in Problem Solving class (which I'm coming to hate as much as everyone else who's taking it), our latest assignment is to try to make something beautiful out of something ugly. Naturally, I chose the Nakita Agents. The assignment includes writing a haiku about your subject, so here's what I came up with.

Shunned by the masses
Your skills are legendary
Faceless warriors.

We all know Kaemon Awa has an official haiku, so I thought it would be fun to see more Heroscape haikus. Share 'em if you got 'em.

I wrote a haiku about Kaemon Awasome :headbang:.

Kaemon Awa
He is so freaking metal
Best figure ever

Another:
Kaemon's so great
(Headbang emoticon here)
Einar is lucky

Might as well add this one too:
Kaidara's Blade Rules
Best Fanfic in History
Read it now or die

A Haiku is five
Then seven syllables right?
Then it's five again?

Yes, that is correct.
Where did you learn to do this?
I was taught in school.

If only 'round here,
people would speak in Haiku.
That would be quite fun.

Why did I bother
To bring back this thread at all
None relate to 'scape

Nagrubs are tiny

Heroscape is great
Let us write about it here
Or this will get locked

Deathwalkers are poop
Draft some samurai instead
Einar has good taste

Marro Warriors
Even though they carry guns
I would still draft them

Jotun the mighty!
Syvarris is acurate.
They make a great team

But yet darkness falls!
Great tomb taken by undead!
Heroes need allies!

Syvarris Does well.
Jotun's soul is devoured!
Theracus then flees.

Samurai are quick.
They destroy foul shades on masse!
And only one falls.

Now jotun strikes back!
And great Finn falls to his might.
And soon syvarris.

Zombies climb the hill.
Wish to eat samurai soon,
Counterstrike works well.

But alas, one falls
Last seeks the giant! The brave fool!
But he faces the music!

With honor....

This poem of haikus was written in memory of the fallen heros who vailantly fought to liberate migol's tomb from the undead! Rest in peace brave ones!

R.I.P.
Syvarris
Finn
Theracus
Izumi Samurai
Jotun

Very nice, link10020. Just one thing I'd change:
"Zombies climb the hill." I think it sounds more like a complete sentence that way. Haiku can be tough because of the limited syllables and you find yourself having to leave out words. Choosing which words to leave out is the most important part.

Most diapers are good,
Krug, Retarius, and Taelord,
All have them do you?

I ran to the store,
but all out of Heroscape,
unlucky I am

I'm trick or treating,
I'm wearing a hockey mask,
are you going too?

Billtog

October 29th, 2007, 04:51 PM

Krug, Retiarius, and Taelord... nine syllables, dude.

I only got 8. fix: Krug, Retarius, Taelord: take out "and"

That's because you spelled Retiarius (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?t=8603) wrong.

You spell it Retarius, it's spelled Retiarius. I'd say leaving out a vowel would cause problems in pronunciation.

I just walked across a road and got tiar all over my feet. :?

Ashigaru wait
Spears poised, calvary approach
Thundering hooves stop

Okay, so my pronunciation isn't correct, but I have the right idea.
