Game Haiku Train!

[BK38]

Thousand foot long squint
Face your tragedies before the wind blows
Again tremendous pain

2ND TIME I'M SAYING SOMETHING. This is not a Haiku. Please use lines in syllabic sequences of 5-3-5 or 5-7-5. Either participate correctly or not at all. If you are having trouble counting syllables, count them out on your hands. We have had plenty of non-native English speakers that manage to adhere to the simple rules. I'm not trying to be harsh, but it derails the thread and it's annoying.

Prince Philip leg count
He's a royal dance machine
Buckingham get down

Hear hear!

 

[BK38]

You're a real pain man
Learn to count syllables please
Don't ruin the game

 

[cduggles]

Let’s get back on track:

You're a real pain man
Learn to count syllables please
Don't ruin the game

Don’t ruin the game
We play with high stakes in here
Your money or life

OFFTOPIC

Ah, all this while I am thinking you are trolling with me!

Now I get why some second lines have five words and not seven.

I should apologise. I was sure I was sticking to the rules at first sight. 5-7-5 words or in syllabic sequences!

 

[cduggles]

Ah, all this while I am thinking you are trolling with me!

Play the games correctly, please.

 

[BK38]

Your money or life
Play solo Russian roulette
If you act a fool

You are welcome to play by the rules. Otherwise, please don’t post.

If you act a fool
On the road
Kerouac says bye!

 

[cduggles]

Kerouac says bye
By the road
A wildflower blooms there

 

[BK38]

A wildflower blooms there
Untamed beauty reigns supreme
Unmarred by man's hand

 

[mtu mwendawazimu]

My penis fell off
The ground shook
Started tectonics

 

[BK38]

Started tectonics
The plates of my soul do shift
Volcanic outburst

 

[cduggles]

Levels I tried first
Up to Icarian heights
Oh life brought me low

 

[BK38]

Oh life brought me low
I swept Augean stables
Vanquishing my pride

 

[cduggles]

Vanquishing my pride
Comes now the flourish of love
Just before the fall

 

[BK38]

Just before the fall
Pride doth come and grace is lost
Hope springs eternal

 

[Snafu in the Void]

Hope springs eternal
I hope I never want to
dagger beneath tree

 

[cduggles]

Do not displace thee
In my heart my blood red heart
We shall always be
