Ripe red cherries fly
With gentle loving care flung
To murder hundreds

Talons tear in flesh
Running prey is easy game
The condor will feast

Twice as wide as long
Gunship makes the point too late
To the wolf at his heels

Hear the words I sing,
War's a horrid thing,
So I sing sing sing...

I don't understand any of this, what are you doing? or is it beyond my comprehension?  :o

Post by: Thaago on December 14, 2012, 05:08:25 PM
We are doing Haiku (a type of poetry)! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku
We're doing the 17 syllable English version (5-7-5 pattern).

The dashing hunter
Loyal greyhound by her side
Tempest in the wind

Alas, Mjolnir
With but three double broadsides
"WTF max flux?"

Predator or Prey
"All ships are expendable"
Helm, engage Burn Drive!

My butterfingers
Always pressing V not F
A fatal mistake

With roaring thunder
Twenty-one guns herald
The Conquest's coming

Capital shields down
Cyclone Reaper linked fire
For massive damage

SDF's Onslaught
Diversion for its two friends
"Why can't I read your MIND?!"

Talons tear in flesh
Running prey is easy game
The condor will feast


But condors are scavengers, so there is no technical prey, and the only prey most likely isn't running, unless it's a zombie groundhog or something.


Oh Boardwalk Empire
Man you are such a good show
Makes me want to smoke

You realize that is a Starfarer haiku?
Title: Re: Haiku
Post by: Aleskander on December 17, 2012, 10:08:59 AM
Yeah, but even then condors are carriers and pretty bad ones at that
Title: Re: Haiku
Post by: Gothars on December 17, 2012, 12:21:50 PM
That's why it uses its Talons. Like in Talon Interceptor Wing.

In this long forgotten thread,
Now what shall we do?

it is, after all, a necro

Post by: Gothars on November 11, 2013, 05:03:59 PM
Dunno, more haikus?


I've done my due
The dying engine whispers
Into silent space



The MIRV missile splits
To see from a new angle
The death of a ship

Frozen fast by stone glare,
Crackling twilight surges forth,
Towards the slumped shark,

(Now if anyone is a idiot... Stone Glare= Medusa, Crackling Twilight = Antimatter/Plasma and Slumped Shark = Hammerhead...if you cannot realise this you are a fool)

Incoming missile
Frigate smoothly steps aside
Damn useless Sabots >:(

New Starsector patch
One hour killing pirates
Buy mansions sector-wide

And now for a Yoda-esque reference to a certain other game:

Go out the airlock
Noncompliant hostages
With rest of the trash

Man with a pencil
Mightier than any sword
Busy Man indeed

Busy with Pencil
Writing *** an giggles, yes
Laughing with gleam

The Pencil runs short
Busy Man turns tired Man
Short pencil breaks now

Sleep?

Sleep is for the weak!
Coffee down the gullet, yes!!
Tired Man has gone

May my pen suffer
With hand continue, indeed!!!
Busy man quiet!

A tremendous fleet,
Far too strong to be challenged,
Drat, now it's boring
