haiku

[flykiller]

classic traveller
the best way to describe it
is shotguns in space

 

[flykiller]

the type S scoutship
home to the adventurers
many worlds they'll see

 

[flykiller]

the mercenary
always seeks the dream ticket
so he can go home

 

[flykiller]

zhodani attack
the imperial navy
meson guns decide

 

[flykiller]

system defense boats
pursue to one hundred D
we must risk misjump

 

[flykiller]

all weapons are drawn
snapshot aim or take cover
2d6 decides

 

[flykiller]

vargr slave escapes
gains status with the humans
traitor to her race

 

[aramis]

Merchant adventure
in the far future we play
fun ensues often.

 

[robject]

Death during chargen
Young cadet, caught in crossfire
Her life had promise

 

[Nathan Brazil]

Charted Space empires
the universe teems with life
pawns of the Ancients

 

[kilemall]

The Fashion pirate
Knows Cutlass is optional
Battle Dress required

 

[dalthor]

She jumps hops or skips
at the whim of her riders
the ultimate steed

 

[warwizard]

humanity expands
15,000 stars are now ours
and our governments still fall

 

[Redcap]

Classic traveller rpg
In space no-one can hear you
curse annoying maths

:rofl:

 

[jcrocker]

unwise Grandfather
angry family squabbles
many asteroids

 

[ovka]

Archduke Dulinor
Destroys the Imperium
Avery reconstructs

 

[Selandia]

If Gods exist
Talk to them about your plans
Make them laugh as they roll 2d6

Haiku is not just
a string of words in three lines.
It's five, seven, five.

 

[aramis]

Haiku is not just
a string of words in three lines.
It's five, seven, five.

True Haiku is not
in syllable counts, instead
it is in beat-count.

Spoiler:

beat count is a better translation for the japanese term on...
Long vowels and dipthongs count as two on, double consonants (which do happen occasionally in Japanese) count double, and trailing consonants (-n -m, context dependent, same character) count 1.

Haiku poetry
so simple, yet elegant
It's very Vlani.

Spoiler:

Its also a bloody pig. it took me about half an hour to make that last line fit, and I'm a still not happy with it.

anybody who can compose these on the fly is a god of language, that's all I am saying.
