Good Morning Fellow WindSlayers!
It’s that time of the year when the Sakura, also known as the Cherry Blossom,
start to bloom and spring is right around the corner. So, guess what guys and girls
it’s time to be creative with your words and create a Haiku. You can also take a screenshot
of the place that gave you inspiration (e.g. Amakusa)

What we are looking for:
-A Haiku is designed to be simple so keep it simple
-1st line has Five Syllables
-2nd line has Seven Syllables
-3rd line has Five Syllables
-Be Creative (you can be corny as well)

Rules:
* 2 entries per person
*Does not violate Terms of Service
* Posting on other threads will not count
* lastly, do not plagiarize.

Guidelines:
Submissions will be accepted until 10:00am (PST) Monday April 6th 2009
We will be judging on how creative and how well you stick to the Haiku rules.




Example:
GMs Haiku
The Black and White Bear
Pandaxtor comes into town
Chess pieces are great

Love Will Hurt At Times
But Just Keep Moving Forward
I Will Be Waiting

A Forum Event
You Must Write A Good Haiku
About WindSlayer

Haiku's Only Rule Is

[GM_Nekopon]

These are so goooood! :o

[b0oxd]

Working on new ones :X

[yamapichu]

Entry #1:
It's in my flavor
Sometimes sour may be sweet
I am a lemon!

Entry #2
Just to let you know
I live in California
Never seen the snow

----------
random ones:
Never ignore me
Hear me now, hear me again
I seek attention

The coldness within
A joke between you and I
May it snow and rain.

[deoxys114]

Lol Yamapichu. The second line of your second Haiku has 8 syllables. XD

[kazuya-str]

First Entry:
You don't remember
Those times we spent together.
But I won't forget.

Second Entry:
Our lame love story
Was like our photo album:
It burned to ashes.

[cerefear]

Lol Yamapichu. The second line of your second Haiku has 8 syllables. XD

I live In - 3 Ca Li For Nia - 4

[deoxys114]

I live In - 3 Ca Li For Nia - 4

Nia is two syllables.

I live in - 3 Ca li for ni a - 5

[cerefear]

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x3490481

Did a quick search on google I see more 4s then 5s so I win xD

[kazuya-str]

It's really interesting. Kinda like the word, "Interesting." Some might say it has 4 syllables
and others may say 3 syllables. I say it depends on how you say it or using the word... Also like the word "Everything".

[deoxys114]

Ah thxs, that helps cerefear.

[kibum9]

Entry #1:

Icy Iceforest
Iceforest Forever Cools

still waiting for Baka's pic....

[kibum9]

I crop my pic but why is it still really big?D:

[redlegion]

Entry 1:
With his foot ablaze
Commander dives into mobs
Smashing their faces

Entry 2:
Lurking in shadows
HajinShinobi stabs you
And watches you die

Notes: Entry 1 is about my monk, Commander. Entry 2 is about my friend's rogue, HajinShinobi.

[deoxys114]

Entry 1

As I walk alone
I think of those times with you
Sadly, it ended

Entry 2
I watch the blossoms
It reminds me of you then
My dear, Sakura

There is no one named Sakura that I used to love. There are just cherry blossoms that in Japanese are called Sakuras, and I felt like making some sad love Haikus. ^^

[GM_Pandaxtor]

I'm glad to see that a number of you are taking this seriously and putting your feelings into it as well as creativity. Keep up the work guys!

Awesome guys! Look we also have a community leader participating too.
Welcome and best of luck to the Haiku entries!

[lordalden]

I can't help my participation. I absolutely love Haiku's, and some of the ones I've read so far are nothing short of amazing!

[zacace05]

[cerefear]

Zacace its hard to read it

[minapersonmajig]

I'm just about to start the game (tried to play in closed beta, was too crowded) and with the second jobs coming out, I want to give it another chance.
So, my entries are about what second jobs to go with...

Entry #1
I am a newbie
I think I'll play a Bishop
Healing is awesome

Entry #2
Then again, Snipers...
Are also to my liking
I have darn good aim

[jackslevin]

I love you're idea :D I'm kinda good at writing... (but I'm better writing in my own language which is Spanish, but I also enjoy to write in English :D )

1st entry:

I’m under the rain
deserving your sweet kisses
plenty of passion dreams.



2nd entry:

I walk with twilight
With the company of wind
It’s sweet and lovely

PS: I wish you'll like it :)

[deoxys114]

Jack, your last line of first entry is 6 syllables long.

[GM_Pandaxtor]

Try a spanish one I'd like to see how that sounds, but of course you'd have to translate. :D

[deoxys114]

Erg. I can't wait 4 more days for this to end. DX I wanna see who won. XD

[jackslevin]

Try a spanish one I'd like to see how that sounds, but of course you'd have to translate. :D

For sure... Here's one...

Spanish Version:

Besarte tierno,
quiero abrazarte más
cada noche más…

[was kinda difficult to fit the metrics.. but i was funny :D)

Translation:

Kissing sweetly
I want to hug you more
each night more...

[of course there's no metric in English, it's just a translation]

[cerefear]

2nd line has 8 syllables?

qui-er-o A-Bra-zar-te mas

But good stuff man

[jackslevin]

2nd line has 8 syllables?

qui-er-o A-Bra-zar-te mas

But good stuff man

NO, it's not pronounced like that... it's like:

quie-ro a-bra-zar-te más

(the "u" doesn't sound and then there is something called "diphthong" which make to vocals sound in the same syllable.)

[GM_Pandaxtor]

lookin forward to it :D

[sparticus_300]

i write this story
to get my prize today
when will it arrive


second haiku
assasins need wins
over my natural
desire to kill

[Sintei]

sparticus your second line on both Haiku is missing a syllable i would recommend a couple lines to cover that for you...

First Haiku:

To Receive My Prize Today

Second Haiku:

To Cover My Natural

Just a to help you out a bit also it is a good idea when writing Haiku's to have a thesaurus on hand so you can see the different words that mean what you are trying to say if you have trouble finding the correct number of Syllables.

Also to really Help the second Haiku you can write it This Way

An Assassin's Need
Wins Over My Natural
Desire to Kill

I really Like your Assassin Haiku too. i think it was better than mine to be honest :p

[serenadeGS]

Sunset, twilight sky
Hearts race to embrace the night
Captured by the stars
Memories of the lost times
Rush back through our minds
Pushing aside all others
Never forgeting
The reasons why we stand here
Holding on to those
Who we wish to share our soul
Waiting for the sun
To call us back to our lives
Lost in our own world
Drinking in the spring time air
We fade back to life

well this is the original hope you like it XP

[Sintei]

Very nice what Prose did you use to continue past the 5,7,5 of the Haiku?
