Okay, so the idea is pretty simple. For those of you who don't know, a haiku is a Japanese style of poetry based on syllables, not rhyming. A haiku has three lines of verse; the first line has 5 syllables, the second has 7 and the third has 5 again. 5-7-5.
That's a haiku.
A few examples:
Mingling in the Court
A good way to earn Favor
But a bit boring
At the Dragon Guard
A Noble wants some Trophies
Still need a Dwarf Axe
I held out my hand
He would not take my token
Stupid Samurai

Check the tomb of history in the TP. There was a haiku contest and there are about a billion of these. :-)

And I think you should put these ones in there, too (if you want, just stick it in with the others, remember to tell people it's yours in the subject line).
And if anyone else wants to add, too, you can do it either place, yes, indeed. Vertigo, that nudge you just felt was me kicking you under the monitor.

The dragon still lives

So much for cliches
The dragon comes back STILL rich...
He takes it with him!
My last torch went out
in the Goblin Catacombs
Hooray for Catseyes!
Acid worm bellies...
I hope they all get heartburn!
They rusted my cap!

Eaten for being on fire

My new character
Her title is Miss Muffin
She kills in the fields

I read a riddle
And was sure of the answer
But it wasn't "crow"

I should be sleeping
Tomorrow is a long day
Instead I play here.

6 in the morning
Wind and rain hammer outside
The cat won't shut up

I'm watching Montel
Much silliness ensuing
Where is the remote?

A friendly dual
To play with rapiers of words
Shall we dance, Muffin?

Name thee the guidelines
And I will dance merrily
Holding sharp objects

Not sharp objects. Nay
Sharp tongues shall serve this dual
How sharp are your wits?

Raise your glass to love
The finest gift of the gods
Until you get dumped

Tired of waking
While sleepy dawn is breaking
Work has me acking

I cook on each day
Been that way for ten years
Tonight is Take Out!

I work every day
In a kitchen called Marche
Wish I got more pay
(It's pronounced MAR-SHAY)
