Contest Lustria-Online - Haiku Competition

[spawning of Bob]

• Haiku ...............is one of the most important forms of traditional Japanese poetry.
• Lustria-Online is one of the most important forums of traditional war-gaming.

This is too much of a coincidence to ignore.​

The Old Ones demand a L-O Haiku competition.
​

Rules (made for breaking):

• Haiku format - a 17-syllable verse form consisting of three metrical units of 5, 7, and 5 syllables.
• Lustrian / Lizardmen / Seraphon Theme
• Best Entries in as yet unspecified categories will be awarded prizes according to the whim of the judges (Son and Daughter of Bob)
• Competition closes later. Or a bit after that

Oh goody! This sounds like a lot of fun, and I happen to have a few L-O Haiku ready to go.

our jungle swarms
venom fangs strike at your feet
they are evrywhere



we kill in cold blood
it is nothing personal
it is the Great Plan



The dark elves invade
Lustrian jungle welcome
who cleans up the mess?



jungle package tour
not as fun as expected
I want a refund​

 

[Slanputin]

The End Times cometh
I listen to burning trees,
watching doomful comets.

Too much ixti grub
Makes a Slann's belly potent;
A cloud of regret.

 

[spawning of Bob]

Slanputin responds
Is it wisdom he provides?
No. The usual.

Age of Sigmar comes
8th edition becomes nerfed
Nightbringer's tears fall

Bodies fall like leaves
The heroes have all perished
Darn you, Scalenex

 

[Mr Phat]

Words of ancient times
Echos of a perfect plan
it bids we listen

Behold the pattern
Heritage of the old ones
Their will, our duty

faithful we endure
safeguard of the legacy
Till the gods return​

 

[Essmir]

Sorry but what in the name of Sotek iss a sylleby?

//Barbaric norse

 

[Scolenex]

I'm not Japanese
Bamboo is very tasty
I dislike haikus

 

[spawning of Bob]

Sorry but what in the name of Sotek iss a sylleby? //Barbaric norse

"Norse" is a one syllable word - one unit of sound.
"Ignoramus" has four separate sounds.
"Barbarian" is you.


5. Here' is' a' hai'ku
7. De'grad'ed' and' des'troyd
5. By' a'pos'troph'ies


You should be able to gøøgle the Dansk definition of Haiku. It will probably be spelt håïků. The best part is that you can mess with grammar and spelling to make the words fit and no one can correct you - because it is poetry.

Caxhuatn stalkers
Get back to work lazy slob,
Phatmotha-phucka!

 

[LawGnome]

Models yes, games no
Profits come before all else
Burn this sucker down

 

[LawGnome]

Vigilant saurus
Waiting for the call to war
No one calls for them

Skink and troglodon
Chosen of sotek, prophet
Why don't we work right?

Tiny and skittish
Can't swing a sword very well
This fight needs more skinks!

A big sleepy frog
Expensive elite saurus
Oops! I just miscast!

Fierce ripperdactyls
Rip and tear their soft, white flesh
"Lol, elves." Rippers die.

 

[LawGnome]

Razordon unit
Hand of glory, stand and shoot
Never mind, snack time

Saurus and cold ones
Have lots of time to themselves
Gold spears too pricy?

Mounted scar vet charges
"Fear my 1+ 4+ save!"
Wait, how many ranks?

Carnosaur: a noun
Meaning "pricy death machine
Wearing a bullseye"

Fearsome kroxigor
Horrible killing machines
Babysat by skinks

 

[pendrake]

Noble Terrorsaur
Wheeling in an arc, circles
A great boulder, falls.

 

[spawning of Bob]

LawGnome has reviewed
our mighty Lustrian force.
Cynicism much?


terradon takes flight
flapping and squawking loudly
spineburl is bad perch


Above the treetops
the temples cast long shadows
cities of cold blood


skaven prisoners
dragged from their foetid tunnels
offerings for Sotek​

 

[Slanputin]

A heated debate
echoes above Lustria:
"Spear! No, Hand-weapon!"
​

 

[Kcibrihp-Esurc]

Bob, why you do this?
I think this is sad, very sad
Yet I still answer

 

[Slanputin]

A heated debate
echoes far across Ghyran:
"Spear! No, Club!"
​

 

[Rednax]

Delicous bacon
Such awsomness, do you like?
Der, of cause you do

 

[spawning of Bob]

2 weeks no wifi
Technology wilderness
No spellcheck either​
