The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Recommended Posts

Once upon a time,

There was a Scaley Wyvern,

Cared only for Geld.

 

And also was Gyr,

Whose name was incoherent,

We all mispronounced.

 

Then there was Pered,

Polite Ancient of the Pen,

And dastardly Smith.

 

More haiku's to come,

Based on members of the Pen,

I need Oreos.

Canid sniffs a plate of oreos and proclaims them much to chemically. She zaps them with a little of that ol' Archmage verdant magic and they suddenly become organic. Canid offers one to Finnius... it is now an oddly green hue.

*awaits the next installment*

 

**hands Finnius a plate of oreos and a glass of chocolate milk** ;)

And now for a change,

The next few haikus will be,

Written by Gollum.

 

Predictions of doom,

Shiny crystal balls and such,

We likes Madame Q.

 

Although they are green,

Canid gives us Oreos,

And we eats them all.

 

Name is one full line,

Degenero Angelus,

It confuses us.

 

Salinye has it...

We knows she has the precious!

Gives it back to us!

 

Finnius giggles,

Puts Gollum back in his box,

Hits it with a stick.

 

;p

w00t - haikus...

 

And oddly enough (maybe it's just me because I did a whole quest on haikus) these seemed more easily readable than.... stories in the Assembly room...

 

well, it probably is just me, because I ordered my food in haiku at McDonalds

 

One number seven

Root beer without any ice

It's "to go" of course

*gently strokes the ring within her hand.*

 

Myyyy precious.....My precious....*looks up and glares at everyone who wants to steal their precious away from them!

Haiku isn't free verse... it has a very set, rigid structure. There's nothing free about it.

 

I'm not the ultimate authority on it... but my understanding of free verse is that it's the poetic equivalent of a combination of impressionism and fauvism; it isn't bound to any set, predefined structure except by the author's desire. (Not to say that it can't have structure... just to say that if it has a set, moderately well known structure such as that of the Haiku, the Sonnet, or the Villanelle, it isn't free verse)

 

But that's just my understanding. Apologies for spamming the thread...

read some of my poetry if you want free verse ntraveler ;)

 

I never could stand the thought of having to follow a 'set structure' like used in Sonnets and the likes... I did enjoy doing haiku's though..

 

Great work Finnius! smiling good; precious baaad *giggle*

 

By the by, that wouldn't be MY blanky would it ntraveler? *eyes the blanky suspiciously for any signs of jumping at her while wagging it's tail*

 

*GRIN*

Soft, fluffy comfort,

Protection from the ninjas,

Appy's warm blanky.

 

Alaeha is nice,

Defines haiku: I need not,

Huggles in shoutbox.

 

Orlan gets the girls,

By the power of his looks,

Sexy, sexy man.

 

Soft, fluffy comfort,

Protection from the ninjas,

Canid's pointy teeth. :blink:

Things like Snit are nice,

Ayshela makes me happy,

Confused and sad, too.

 

Whizzing through the air,

By the power of pulleys.

Aardvark's catapult.

 

Wiggly Cabbages,

Humor, spiced and serious,

Gwaihir delights me.

The Cabbages praised

By the master of humour

I am quite flattered.

 

 

Finnius, great haikus. You always write entertaining ones and mine certainly isn't trying to compare, but that sentence just naturally fit the form, so I had to write it that way.
