Sudden realization.

By
So for the Haiku thing I actually had to read what a Haiku was etc. And I had a sudden realization. Some of the 'broken' free form poetry I thought I liked was actually Haiku.....

Below is an example of me attempting to reproduce this without realizing the rules. I find this humourous in a 'ooo lookit a melee Haiku-tard' way:




RAT SNIPER


Hunkered down in the bushes
snow falling all around
rifle at the ready
hunter on the prowl

not so much hunter as hunted
winning the battle
losing the war
hiding from the geese

Rat in on two legs
twitching as the great cats stalk
sprinting for cover
crouching to not be seen

Stalking the pack
listening to the campfire chatter
*crack*
silence then screaming

blood
one falls
many scrambling
a rat takes another look

another round into the rifle
another cat marked in a folder
the snow falls
the hunt starts

tents empty into the night
fire leaps on to torches
cats angry fearful hiding hunting
rat tense successful running hiding

long night
many footprints but no body
more snow
less sleep

cats return wet and tired
rat escapes wet and tired
'How goes it?'
"Well enough"

a cup of coffee
a chair
a rat in a blanket warm
a cat slowly lowered into the ground
one more battle
still the same war


It makes such a huge difference knowing the rules. Hah!

Sub-Teach, On monday, I had about 80% of this written as a reply to your comment before I figured I should just drop it into a post. Yay for thought spam from simple commentary. To be clear: I'm not anti-our-current-president. I didn't like his solution for the recession(the bailout(which was started by our previous president)) but I'm certainly not blaming the recession on him. I understand that it was my dear party that thought you could spend AND cut taxes at the same time. I'm not really in favor of the way in which the other party wants to extend the tax cuts(cutting some and not others). I would rather we let all of the tax cuts expire and everyone equally paid a little bit more. BUT I'm really not happy with the idea that we can extend all of them when we are in record levels of national debt, which is what my party espouses. No our current president didn't have much time to fix the economy...and any good/harm he did probably won't be evident

A post!

So Beowulfa recieved the Burning Crusade as one of her many christmas presents. As a side note, she also recieved a picture of a chick with a pet lion. Sort of like Angharad. Anyways, we're poking Drenai characters in a "ooo that would be cool" kind of way. Since it was her birthday present and all... and if the characters were not BElf or Spacegoat then it wouldn't be using the present! So we're going to at least get them to 10. And BElf's are too... pretty in an ugly way. I don'ts like them. She doesn't like them(much?). I said Spacegoat. She quickly created a male drenai priest(this morning). We talked about it at lunch and she's going to make a paladin instead, I think. I slightly warned her off of priest because I've heard they solo about as well as a warrior heals. I'm.... undecided. We have warrior, paladin, mage, priest, shaman, hunter. I've been told I need to be something tankish. So mage and priest are gone. I'm definin
