I remember a while back we had a thread about Sci-fi poetry. Well, let’s make this one more specific. Let’s do some sci-fi haikus.

Remember that haikus have five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the last line. Try to be funny and creative.

Neo is the one, yes
Wire-fu, kung-fu, bullet time
Stop analyzing it

Umm... your last line has 6 instead of 5.

Geez, Sargent, read the last line. It's a joke. Get it! STOP ANALYZING IT! Ahahahahahahah! Your no fun.

On that note:

Blah blah SG1
Richard Dean Anderson Blah
Blah blah SG1

Revolutions is
Supposed to be much better
Than Reloaded, yep.

Aliens mostly
Come out at night when you least
Expect it. Mostly.

Star Wars and Lucas
Have destroyed expectations.
Chaos now remains.

Return of the King
Ups the ante with action.
Can you say, Hell yes!

Technically most of these are not haikus. The follow the form of it, but not the content of the traditional haiku.

You were not clear in your statment, and you can't assume that people can read you mind when you make a post. When you stated "Thats not a haiku", I thought "very true, it isnt when you look towards the fundamentals of haikus" and thats as far as it went. Maybe next time you could be kind enough to point out exactly what is in error?

cool skill gets angry

Haiku for People (http://www.toyomasu.com/haiku/#whatishaiku)

Includes "What is Haiku?" and "How to write Haiku."

I've seen that before.

That problem I have with that is, all the haikus are translations, and are not in 5-7-5 form, which can be misleading to the begining haiku writer.

Also, that would be what I was refering to, the "seasonal indicator".

Thank you tiassa for the link.

Pink unicorn love,
How sweet though shalt be in spring
I will ride you hard.


Inspired by a conversation with sarge.
And boredom.

But really, its fantasy + a season...

So its a real haiku by any definition.

Oh, and anyone who reads it as sexual is just perverted.

In honor of the greatest sci-fi writer of all time:

Heinlein is The Man
All others are commie wimps
Guns and low taxes!

In honor of my computer that won't work on the internet:

My computer broke
It's a frilling piece of shit
I'm switching to Mac.

It looks like I am going to have to reinstall the whole damn operating system. I still have games on my computer that I haven't finished, so I will be internetless for a while longer. I miss posting here, but I am not starting all those damned games over from the beginning.

Uhm, usually there is a folder with saved games under the games directory on your HD. You can save that folder somewhere else and most of the time it will still work when you put the folder back after re-installing, etc.
