StarCraft Haikus!

bwahahahaha "dark" is my middle name

Oh and thanks for merging posts for me neon, I'll remember that in the future

 

nice one!

Death animations
For Zerglings are the ownage
Yelp! A pool of blood

 

Look! A Protoss ship!
Oh, just a harmless shuttle.
*Boom!* ZOMG! REAVER DROP!

 

More Haiku, in honor of the new video!

Times are desperate.
It is the end of a day:
We embrace Twilight.
(Twilight Archon)

A storm is brewing,
A Tempest blows in from sea.
So long, Carrier.

Large, you cannot hide.
No battle-worm goes unseen.
Welcome back, Reaver.

Photon Cannon? No!
Static defense? I think not!
I go where I like!
(Phase Cannon)

Speed, strength in numbers.
Ancient Protoss were hunters,
Just as they are now.
(Soul Hunter)

 

Holy shit! REAVERS!
I AM SO DAMN EXCITED
I have to change pants

 

Those new ones are pretty darn good..
especially last 2 ^_^

 

You all are such geeks
For writing starcraft haikus
Oh crap! I'm one too

 

This one isn't about SC, but its funny.

Haikus are easy
But sometimes they don't make sense
Refrigerator

and my own:

We fell in years past
Our temple lost to zerg mass
Of dragoons, the last
(Immortal)

 

a mighty marine
was killed by a bean
he needed a shield

marine shield sux! only saves u from beans and looks like crap...

 

This one is really nice. It has real poetry feelings. In this haiku are the epic ones, I would say.
Besides, the rhymes make it sound better than 3 completely separated verses. Like someone said here, haikus aren't a phrase broken into 3 pieces of 5-7-5 syllables, but the lines can't be totally distinct, because the entire poem is one complete piece. Rhymes, in this case, are a good choice to link the verses "physically" (musically, in this case). Of course, the whole idea already links the 3 lines, but it's more elegant when these details appears.

Good job wuffle.

 

I disagree, I actually try to avoid rhyme when I make haiku. I feel that the first to lines should be related, but not directly, with the third line bringing them together, completing the idea, or driving the point home.

 

Soul hunters look wierd
Hoverboards and soul-stealing
Is un-Starcraft-ish

 

Thanks for the compliments. I don't really care wether it rhymes or not as long as it is good. I try different stuff. I liked my Immortal one however, because the last line did seem to complete it, but it still flowed nice.

 

Wow... I knew Starcraft II made people cry, but not actually... write haiku....

 

A crimson hue burns in the sky
A lone mutalisk flies right by
An orange ring glows around it
The sky is even more lit
A Dark Archon takes control
Of the flying Zerg's mind, body, and soul

 

thats not a haiku....

but I would replace the last line with

"of the flying Zerg's mind, body, and soul"

 

Thank you, that sounds much better, now I'll make a haiku:
*Ahem*


After ten years since
The original arose
The sequel appears
(Starcraft 2)

 

Some more haiku, relating to things we've learned since my last bundle.

Golden minerals?
Explains Protoss yellowness?
Nope, just more money.

The Stargate's fresh look:
Warning: bright flash and sparkle. (syllables fixed)
Nothing else new, though.

(Colossus details)
Tripod? No, Quadpod.
We'd never rip H.G. Wells,
We totally swear.

 

Ah, greetings command!
Ah...the ship.... out of danger?
Affirmative, sir.

Zealots can now charge,
So much for leg enhancements,
An Improvement? Yes.

 

StarCraft Two pwns all
Even Jedi warriors
Sorry, that was lame.
