A haiku is a form of short Japanese poem. Wikipedia's article explains the rules.


Little doggie you
Are going to be killed soon
By a falling rock.

--argiopeweb

The spikes were poisoned
And the poison was deadly
Get some intrinsics.

--aioli & argiopeweb

The soldier ant hits
You will soon know what you have
It could have saved you

--firemonkey

You insulted law
Now you have to pay the price
Wide angle death beam

--aioli

With this wooden ring
I can cross the water, but
then an eel zapped me

--Toni Keskalto

Do you feel lucky?
Do you want your possessions
identified, punk?

--Jayt 21:48, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Dead troll in a lake:
Yellowing leaves on water
Stirred by its last gasps

--Raxvulpine

Cherry blossoms drape the
Chest where the troll is buried.
Welcome to level 12.

--Raxvulpine

The troll is slowing
Down, the nights are growing long,
It has turned to stone

--Raxvulpine

Snow slowly fills grooves
burned above a hero's grave
mistyped Ebehlert

--cjeris

I sacrifice much
Faithless Anhur gives me what?
yes, Ogresmasher

--cjeris

A four-leaf clover---
and pray. Anhur seems displeased.
Goddamn Sokoban!

--Raxvulpine

Quaff from a fountain
Wish for a cockatrice corpse,
Watch out for the stairs.

--Temyx

--More-- --More-- --More-- --More-- --More--
--More-- --More-- --More-- --More-- --More-- Escape
You have turned to stone.

--tejón

Scroll upon the ground
Erupts in an inferno
Dammit, my good robe!

--MrGuy 21:37, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Lichen, straight ahead!
You, needing sustenance soon,
Attack-- a green mold.

--MrGuy 21:39, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Curious and and blind
Her ungloved hand feels slowly
A cockatrice corpse
