RO Haiku thread!

[Kowalczyk]

Inspired by a post by Cwivey, please post your gems of war poetry here!

This is poetry:

Spawn on squad leader
Gain advantage in the map
Crush the enemy


Gotta love haiku's.

And I will add a quick one myself:

He saw me, aimed and missed
I saw him, aimed and
Got teamkilled.

 

[AussiePariah]

Machine guns supress
Need to get out of its sight.
Cannot Prone here. Dead.

 

[nymets1104]

machine guns supress
need to get out of its sight.
Cannot prone

yes lolol

 

[nymets1104]

Fighting in the Cap
We almost have it taken
Autobalance On

 

[Clowndoe]

I'm going to go ahead and ask, are you sure you know what a haiku is? I know an on and a syllable are not the same thing, but "He saw me, aimed and missed" is 6 syllables, and to my knowledge typically there are as many or more on than syllables. I can't just write it off as my not knowing where on begin and end.

According to Wikipedia, a haiku follows the following format:

5 syllables
7 syllables
5 syllables

Anyway, here are a few I came up with. I'll post more later when I think of them.

satchel objective
warn teammates, they listen not
ban until map change

on guadalcanal
flamethrower meets banzai charge
achievement unlocked

recon plane flies high
machine gun fires skyward
down in flames, ten points

close-quarters combat
bolt-action, hipfire, kill
accused of hacking

fight with all your heart
thirty seconds 'til round end
autobalanced, f***!

 

[AussiePariah]

The cap has fallen
Return to the combat zone
Run, I am now gibs.

 

[Rabid Penguin]

This one's for Moskeeto:

classic mode server
after sprinting, iron sights
right-click works not, dead

Please Wait, Map Loading

Choose your class and pick your squad

Spawn, Round is over

 

[Adenru]

ready machine gun
there is bump on the plain
now I'm one with the floor.

 

[The Beast (nl)]

Made a around the map
to come behind an enemy tank
Missed from 2 metres by aimbug

 

[Fisher]

Pain weighs on my chest,
crimson blossoms gush forward,
Autumn leaves drink deep.

 

[Catalavos]

Oh, "Cannot prone here"
You steal more of my soul daily
Can you still be fixed?


Three months, they did say
For new vehicles, alas
We are still on foot


Well, maybe real quick
I'll play with the SDK
Oh, crap! It's midnight!

 

[Twrecks]

I'm Tank commander
Moving up to the front line
Stuck rubber-banding


Got MG34
Here comes the dumb allied bots
Cannot deploy here


Must finish my map
Wife left with the truck and dog
Must finish my map

 

[Walsh]

Mark awesome Arty

Only to be rebalanced

Now they're all team wounds

 

[=GG= Mr Moe]

Pick the Squad Leader
But where are the troops to lead?
Oh, Squad Leader Two

 

[GRIZZLY]

Haikus are actually extremely complex.... they reference landmarks and nature sights that are significant to Shintoism, as well as realigning kanji (the Chinese characters used in Japanese as opposed to the Japanese alphabet) used in other haikus (haikus were all kind of cover songs if you will), as well as using "stroke numbers" (each Kanji has a specific number of strokes of the pen/brush) kind of in the way we would use syllables. I only took 4 years of Japanese and forgot most of it - but one of my teachers was really into Haikus... and he emphasized that 99% of modern Japanese don't understand it, it was developed a very long time ago (Basho wrote in the 1670s (i think)), has a lot to do with an archaic style of writing Japanese as well as old school Shintoism.

run and gun game play
fallen blossom of day's past
where does one go now?
