StarCraft Haikus!

[10-Neon]

I had a friend that would write a new StarCraft Haiku every week and place it in his battle.net description. I wrote a few myself.
I'll start with mine, but please feel free to add your own!

Some of them clearly deal with StarCraft, but some of the others are a little more open, but were created referring to StarCraft gameplay.

I cannot tell you
How Guardians stay aloft.
They must be magic!

A useful Bunker,
Because rubble does nothing,
Hides among others.
(Defensive buildings tend to get destroyed when they are out in the open.)

A lone Hydralisk
Hiding under the Dark Swarm
Will turn foes away.
(At least air-foes)

If he escapes,
The enemy will return.
You will fight again.

If they are uneasy,
Strikes from out of the shadows
Will keep you on top.

[Fenix]

Oh dear Lord.

[Remy]

^ I busted out laughing so hard immediately after I read your reply. LOL, literally.

[reject_666_6]

:drunk: We should organize a Starcraft haiku or general poetry contest for you little whipper-snappers! I'll see what I can do...

[Gold]

I cannot tell
how guardians stay up in the sky
with no wings
how can they fly

They should just fall
they dont ahve enough vespene gas
some one should tell blizzard
about this imbalance

[Fenix]

NOT A HAIKU


Jetting through the sky,
Wraiths up on high
Everybody gotta die sometime, Red
Just as long as it's after he's fed.

Ghosts harassing the enemy units
Driving them to the edge of their wits.
Cloak, Lockdown, and a nuke
More than enough to make a foe puke

Protoss Zealots running loose,
Killing units like a noose.
The Blades of Aiur,
Passion burns like a fire

That mighty war machine called the Reaver
Goes through enemies like wood through a beaver.
Launching its mighty Scarab blast,
It kills your foes mighty fast.

The slimy Zerg Overlord
Moves about of its own accord
Carrying allies in its Ventral Sac,
For making gross sounds, it has a knack

Last and not least,
The Ultralisk has its feast.
Mighty blades to rend its foes,
Its enemies down, they do mow.


Thank you, thank you. No need for applause.

ten long years waiting
ghost a promise never kept

:powerup:
That one was great, it sums up the whole waiting-for-SC2 experience perfectly. I was going to add some SC2-themed haiku, but that one just takes the cake.

[Remy]

Brilliant! I'd give you a power up but my level is too low and I don't seem to have the option. Very nice one though!Â* :thumbup:Â* :thumbup:


Aren't you the admin?Â* I mean, couldn't you kinda... "cheat?"

[coalescence]

Can someone explain me the rules of a Haiku? What's the difference between this and other kind of poems? I don't really see it (except its short, like a limmerick)

I like it, though personally I'd switch "brood" with "swarm"....That's just me though.

A ghost cloaks and says
"Nuclear launch detected"
Oh no, my zerglings!

I like haikus they
Are very fun but why, why,
Why five seven five?

ghost nuked my home
fallout gave me the big itch
you son of a *****


big yamato gun
makes ultras run astray

I suck at this :D

[Fenix]

Stupid flying Zerg
I hate those dang Guardians
Killing my bunkers

Marines shoot it down
Alas, it's too late
My defense has been blown up

Zerglings, fast and hard
Rush in to kill my siege tanks
Now I'm screwed over

Massacre my troops,
Killing all my SCV's
The game is over

Well, what did you think?
I thought it was rather lame.
Now I am finished.

[zeratul11]

the zerlings are small (5)
now have wings but cannot fly (7)
turn into a ball (haiku finish here) (5)
now the collosus will die (7)

starcraft is the best (5)
starcraft 2 and here it goes (7)

nothing else surely comes close (7)


zealots now got charge (5)
motherships surely is large (7)

Starcraft haikus rock.
They rock my socks uberly.
I don't wear socks though!

[10-Neon]

Mothership: stop time.
Missiles cannot hit their mark.
Oh, except that one.

Look, Planet Cracker!
She has dropped her precious shields,
We might want to shoot.

A merry-go-round,
Whole city spins, dizziness.
Protoss can't throw up.

Reaper, two pistols.
Can you kill two men at once?
You should try aiming.

(Baneling)
Green, not so mobile.
Explosions gained, legs lost.
Tumbleweed, but worse.

Of Protoss weapons,
Colossus hated the most:
Always wins hop-scotch.

I had seven Wraiths,
But now I only have two.
I blame the Turrets.

Marine: "Help, heal me!"
Medic: "Can't, no energy.
Don't use so much Stim"

"Who needs detectors?"
Nuclear launch detected.
"Oh, I guess I do."

Something is wrong here,
A lone Arbiter, my base?
I forgot, Recall...

Carriers are so strong.
My fleet beats anything--wait:
One Interceptor?

Zealots can now sprint,
They are always first to fight.
Did they take steroids?

Immortal, tough shields:
Shells and mortars do nothing.
Watch out for claws though.

Warp Gate opens up.
Ground units now teleport.
Watch out for Phase Prisms!

[Inside Sin]

What are these?

[NotDeadYet]

Mighty Zergling swarm.
Flowing through the plains, towards-
ARGH! HELP ME! *Static*

[Bumbaloe]

What are these?


A haiku is a poem with 3 lines, the first line having 5 syllables, the second with 7, and the last with 5.

[Bumbaloe]

Nerf the awesome 'rines?
I think not you silly guy.
Marines are so cool.

[Gold]

it was a joke man, about how people can hate stuff becore they know anything about it
dont make me explain things like this...

[NotDeadYet]

Firebats attack!
They ignite the Zergling swarms.
They never eat beans.

[Zeratul]

lol nice, what are the requirements for haikus?
3 lines and certain number of syllables?
3, 7 and 5?

What is that blurry shape there?
Oh, a Dark Temp- *ZAP!*

[Zeratul]

thx ^_^, been a while since I've seen them. Think we did them at intermediate.

Tanks shell painfully
Goliaths rain fire skywards
Protoss explode - mines!!!

My take on Terrans most evil strategy against Protoss.^_^!!

That's 5, 7, 6. I would change "Protoss explode with mines" to "Protoss explode - mines!" ;)

Sometimes no one will catch you.
This is no such time.

[Nikzad]

Hello everyone!
My name is Nikzad, I'm new
Trying a haiku


Run up the middle
Between my photon cannons
Scarabs make Zerg bleeeeeeed

That's right...just like that
Bunch all of your carriers...
Psionic storm time!

I'll send in Zealots
Just as you are switching modes
No more siege tanks here

Like I said, I'm new
But I've been reading a lot
Shhh! I am at work!

[Nikzad]

hahaha thanks bluebob, I use that in conjunction with Firefox's tabbed browsing, so anytime someone comes around I switch to my email tab and then minimize ;D

anyway, here are some more while I am on my lunch break

"It's powering up!"
Said Joe, the little marine
Planet Cracker owns

"What the hell is this?
Zerglings rushing ten siege tanks?"
Diversion complete.

Meet outside zerg base,
3 on 1, prepare to pounce,
Ready....set...."SH*T I GOT PLAGUED!!!!"


hahaha, will do Aiur!

---

Sneak up silently
slice once, and bathe in the blood
of a stalked zergling

(dark templar)

---

leg enhancements rule
"Where you goin'?!?!" Chase down foes
nikes for zealots

[NotDeadYet]

As I write this poem
A mothership flies above.
It usesssss ttttttttttiiiiiiiiiiiiiimmmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeeee bbbbbbbooooooooommmmmmmmbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb...

[Nikzad]

bwahahahaha "dark" is my middle name

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

[Nikzad]

nice one!

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

[NotDeadYet]

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

[10-Neon]

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)

[Nikzad]

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

[Zeratul]

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

[needcatscan]

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

[wuffle]

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

Haikus are easy
But sometimes they don't make sense

and my own:

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

[Light]

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

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

[13k]

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

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.

[10-Neon]

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.

[Nikzad]

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

[wuffle]

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.

[CrisisDarkerXIV]

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

[Darktemplar_L]

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

[Nikzad]

thats not a haiku....

but I would replace the last line with

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

[Darktemplar_L]

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)

[10-Neon]

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.

[Lord David]

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

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

[Fenix]

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

[Fenix]

Ell Oh Ell, yeppers
I was bored out of my mind
So I brought this back

[Nikzad]

its 5-8-5

Good changes, bad ones
Reavers replaced by tall turds
But carrier's back!

No more will I hear
Five zerglings dying at once
From my scarabs...tear :'(

-*Click: "New topic", type*
-New info! Marines have shields!
...
~*Click: "Remove Topic"*

Wow! New arcade games!
Now my productivity
At work will plummet

I'm so lost right now
What will be my fav'rite race?
My 'toss aren't the same

[MarineCorp]

my very first haiku

My name is MarineCorp
I am new at Starcraft 2 things
But... not new at one

thats lame :P

[Nikzad]

make "name" say "name's" and erase "is" and it will be perfect

it's gotta go 5 syllables, 8 syllables, 5 syllables

[Nikzad]

damnit I just looked at 10-Neon's one about the new stargates and the second line had 8, so I took that as correct...
*click*
"Edit"

[Nikzad]

Oh, dear 10-Neon
How do I admire thee?
Let me count the ways:

One, two, three, four, five
Six, seven, eight, nine, and TEN
Reasons do I find

[MarineCorp]

my second haiku:
i got a idea of this from markus:

Nikzad and 10-Neon good
But you never know what hit 'em
thank you very much :good:

[Nikzad]

you spelled my name wrong :'(

what hit me?

[MarineCorp]

i don;t know.. sorry that i spelt name wrong muahahaha
what is 'you never know what hit 'em' is that how these words/haikus just hit them in their brain thought of these cool haikus

i am going to edit my speech again
*edit*

[Mikosz]

I see a Zealote
he cant see me
but when he turns
I run for the tree

[Shadowdragon]

Fire reigns down hard
My base is now all aflame
Should have paused the game

[ImaGiNe.]

Let me get a slice of this pie!

The Ganthrithor bends
And leads it's bow into death
Like a tear it falls

They descend from stars
The Xel'Naga yield the end
Doom to all humans

[Nikzad]

not to nitpick, but wouldn't it be "death to all beings," as protoss and zerg are threatened too?

EDIT: Haikus are three lined poems, that do NOT have to rhyme but DO require 5 syllables in the first line, 7 syllables in the second, and 5 syllables again in the third line.

[ImaGiNe.]

I say "Doom to all humans" because I reference Zeratul and Raynor's conversation in the Terran Walkthrough video and cinematics.

[MarineCorp]

My third Haiku in my life:

these little things hurt
they are everywhere, i need...
micromanagement

[ImaGiNe.]

WHAT THE F*CK? I scream
That f*g uses a map hack
Cheating fog of war

[MarineCorp]

Colossus needed...
...For great masses it's needed...
Air....needed no more

lame :P

[furrer]

Nice tread, i think i will try too:

Starcraft Broodwar owns
Every other game wil die
I just love that game

[Darktemplar_L]

We all wait for night
Only to regret our choice
Until tis' too late


Um.. i have no idea what that means... I just wrote it out of my mind...

[Fenix]

I brought this thread back.
Boredom makes me do great things
I'm just good like that.

[ShdwyTemplar]

From shadows they rise,
Forsaken from home,exiled,
The Dark Templar strike!

Too long he watched,
forgotten and remembered,
he shall begin anew.

Lost for so long, dead?
No, Yes, I will have vengeance.
He forsook her there.

Chaos unrelenting,
I see through their eyes,
Nightmares to Dreams.

Madness, this is mine!
He will waver yet, he's
wanted everywhere!

Once more do I return,
Shadows upon shadows now,
will I rise again?

Gracefully fallen,
Risen from the ashes now,
Will we return home?

Do they see me here?
A shadow within their grasp,
Am I forsaken?

I'll let you guess on the subjects.

[Fenix]

Carrier Gantrithor
Tassadar at the craft's helm
Noble sacrifice.

[Nikzad]

A Ghost moves slowly...
Paints his targets with red dots
And causes wet pants

[kingsky123]

Patience is to all,
To all starcraft fans no more,
We want it now y'all

:P

[Remy]

What a haiku is
Read page 1, reply 13
To learn about it

3 lines that are of
5, 7, 5 syllables
That is a haiku

Follow that format
And post some great poetry
We stay on topic

[PancakeChef]

Hydralisk splashes
Zerglings claws dig in deeply
Glory to the Swram


Just a quick off the top of my head.

[Fenix]

Oh noes! A Zerg rush!!
My defense is not ready!!
Kekekeke - PWNED

[MarineCorp]

Ha ha that's a nice one

Queens one hit tanks
Broodlings infest the workers
...Now the Queen's dead :P

[PancakeChef]

Raynor....every man..
Strength and a bottle of gin
is all he has left

[MarineCorp]

Everything sunny, warm..
What's that cat running towards us??
It's so cu- AH! *Munch*

[Nikzad]

It's so depressing
Watching your base getting raped
By just one zergling

[10-Neon]

Got you, Mr. Thor.
You turn so slowly, tap-tap:
Your backside is mine.

[MarineCorp]

Mighty Thors mighty...
Erm...Thors mighty..Mighty Thors
Strong Thors = Good game?? :P

[Nikzad]

lol dude try to have a theme or some sort of meaning or this is gonna get moved to space junk ;)

[MarineCorp]

Oh yea >.< hope this won't be moved to Space Junk it's one of the funniest thread on this forum ;D

[ShdwyTemplar]

Part 1

I feel their desire,
I am their tool of war,
I'm their future, past.

Eons old I am,
Left old burdens of master,
Now I alone wake.

Fear, Chaos, Terror,
Will unhampered,unchanged
My seeds are planted.

Will he destroy me?
Will he end what has ended?
Will perfection wake?

To the end of time,
To the void my creations?
An end to the end?

No, I will end it,
My stories I will conclude,
Begin anew the tale.

Part Two

Silence Unending,
The Void reaches out,
Merging the shadows.

Darkness becomes my veil,
My foe within my clear grasp,
Fear consumes him now.

Echoes torment him,
Slowly I bring him to an end.
Swifter is the shadow.

Ghost I am no more,
Abomination I am,
A shadow I am.

Part 3

Secluded, alone,
What do you see beyond this?
Do you see the past?

A glimmer of hope,
A future without limits,
What must be done will.

What if this fails?
What if we fail to end this?
What then, do you know?

My will is too strong,
We have allies, strong allies,
We will not fail now.

The past will return,
The present exiled once more,
The cycle will start.

I hope I'm hitting my mark. 8)
Note my Haiku's tell a story or thought process.


Bonus 300 minerals for awesome haiku...ing.

[MarineCorp]

Nice story it made feel sleepy ^_^ and *yawn* i guess you dudes are eating dinner now while it's nearly 3:45 pm but in Europe it's 11:45 pm ..*snore*

[ShdwyTemplar]

Each of the different parts of my Haiku's are actually there own separate stories. I won't say what they each are unless I need to. PM me if you want to know what each was about.

Part 4 Coming Soon. ;D

[MarineCorp]

Nice one
Part 1 = Protoss first look
Part 2 = Terran first look
Part 3 = Zerg first look
Part 4 = Hybrid coming soon.... ;D

[ShdwyTemplar]

Part 4

They fell upon them,
Idle thoughts and idle dreams,
Deceptive and fierce.

Old thoughts lingering,
What secrets do they contain?
What truth do they hold?

Seeking power still,
Seeking glory amongst themselves,
They like them shall fail.

In failure they fall.
Too long has this gone.
An end to the dream.


Also @ MarineCorp
Part 1 = Wrong
Part 2 = Wrong
Part 3 = Wrong
Part 4 = Wrong or is it? 8)

An end to a dream is not an end, but, a beginning to reality. :-X

[MarineCorp]

Erm... well:
Part 1= Terran
Part 2= Zerg?
Part 3= Protoss
Part 4= Come on it has to be Hybrid.. or is it? :-X

[ShdwyTemplar]

And then the secret began to unravel in that slow veil. Planets collided and realities were born. This is the way of reality. Where do you see yourself?

To Impart the Secrets
Part 1:**r**
Part 2:S******
Part 3:C***********
Part 4:****n

BBL i'll let some more people guess and MC it's not Zergs lol. Secrets are elusive. Dreams are secrets. Does that make them one in the same?

[MarineCorp]

Part 1= Zergs??
Part 2= Shadows???
Part 3= i have no idea
Part 4= i have no idea

[Fenix]

Part 1: Fergie.

[ShdwyTemplar]

Part 1:Duran
Part 2:Spectre
Part 3:Conversation Between Jim Raynor and Matt Horner(Not sure if I spelled his last name right)
Part 4:Duran

Mysteries unravel like the threads of reality. The way they shake the reality apart depends on your idea of the Mystery. Enjoy of the puzzle. ;D

[MarineCorp]

Part 3= Conversation between Jim Raynor and **** Zeratul??

[concreteasflesh]

Battlecruisers Fly
Enemy Ground Forces Die
This Is How I Win

[Remy]

I like that one concreteasflesh, good job.

[wuffle]

Teeth dripping with blood
And whetted claws in the flesh
Zerg know no mercy

[concreteasflesh]

Scary Zerglings Come
In The Bunker We Are Safe
Only Time Will Tell

[Smokiehunter]

the nuke is here
the base is in disrepair
the assalt came

[ShdwyTemplar]

Part 5 Life of a Marine

Rage now consumes them,
Landing they felt the ground shake,
Nearby Siege Tanks Fire,

Smoke blocks their view,
One by one they leave the pod,
Gun fire surrounds them.

Enemy, Ally, all the same,
In this battlefield it ends,
Open Fire! Hold Ranks!

One by one they fall,
Then the order comes in, retreat.
Too late does it come.

Now this was their life,
Forever their grave site now,
This is Marine Life.

Ya...

[Nikzad]

Teeth dripping with blood
And whetted claws in the flesh
Zerg know no mercy


I like this one, it's rich with imagery, well done!

[slugonice]

depleted are the mines
Archons control the mind
hell its about time

[Remy]

Marines out of jail
Medics on the horizon
Pants are coming off

[Nikzad]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YESSSSSSSS

I inspired that!!

ok, how about this one:

men locked up for years
Now marines, they see medics
Punctured power suits...

or

Once medics arrive
Engineers get real busy
Replacing crotch plates

[Itsmyship]

Its a bit troubling to find that I'm not as scared of you guys as I should be... :o

[Nikzad]

dude

Remy

Terrible

[Remy]

dude

Remy

Terrible


Did I take it a bit too graphic? :P

[Nikzad]

even for me...and I'm the guy who started the Marine Rapists thread lol

[Remy]

I have removed my rape themed haiku.  I sincerely apologize to anyone and everyone who may have been offended by it.  It was shortsightedness on my part, I failed to consider the possibility of someone else finding it to be offensive.

No one has to believe me, but I mean my apology from the bottom of my heart, I'm sorry.  This is the closest thing to taking administrative action against myself as I could think of.  Again, I'm really sorry.

[Nikzad]

lol <3 no worries Remy

but you should submit that to like the serious rape victim support groups or something, it was very well done

[Itsmyship]

Oh hey Nikzad, youre hero now, gratz!

Oh btw Remy, did you read? I made you a forum political party...the Remyublicans!

[Nikzad]

hahahaha thanks!

I fancied myself a hero before, but now its official hehehe...jk

[Itsmyship]

Youre already a her Nikzad...*points to heart*...in here. lol :P

[Remy]

Oh hey Nikzad, youre hero now, gratz!

Oh btw Remy, did you read? I made you a forum political party...the Remyublicans!


Thanks a bunch, but I honestly really hate politics.

[Itsmyship]

Well me too, but with the whole "Remy v. Paragon" vibe everyone seems hell bent on making, I decided we should have three parties: Remyublicans, Paragonialists, and Communist....I'm in the last one ;D

[Nikzad]

there's a saying in Farsi that we say that sounds a lot better in Farsi but still rings true in English:

Seeasat pedar-madar nadarad.

Literally: Politics has no father or mother.
Figuratively: Politics is a bastard child./Politics is an illegitimate child.

Topic, what is it?
StarCraft haiku, don't forget.
Write about the game.

There's another thread,
It is fresh and new today:
It goes by "Haikus (http://www.starcraft2forum.org/forums/index.php?topic=2844.0)"

Now there is a place,
Other words may be written
Here, words are StarCraft.

---

It has been a while
Since my last Haiku arrived
I will post some more.

My Terran comments:
Thin, almost nonexistent.
I'll change that right now.

Invisible death:
Some Banshees and some missiles.
If there ever was.

A bomb or six men?
Which kind of death do you need?
The Ghost can bring both.

Planetary Fort,
Do your guns make you a god?
Or a sitting duck?

I will bet, right now:
The Nomad will be revamped.
Have any takers?

Reapers are useful,
But the Merc Haven? Really?
A battlefield bar!

The Viking is strange,
At home in air or on land,
But does it float, too?

Look, it emerges!
Erupting from the earth-- what?
A Supply Depot?

Don't need that Depot,
I would like a refund please.
Here is my receipt.
(Salvage)

It makes sense, I guess.
Build ground units from the ground,
Air units, the air.
(Starbase)

The Battlecruiser:
A choice between upgrades, guns.
Kill one or many?

Area defense.
The Predator, defender.
Psheew, shoot down missiles!

I am stopping now.
Too many to read at once.
You can have a break.

[-LT-]

OMG :o So many haikus
Hehehe

[Lenga]

w00t, those are awesome

[Bumbaloe]

What are all of these
New units like the banshees
I was gone so long

Now I do not know
What all of these units are
Please explain to me

And here's a more starcraft themed haiku :P

The ghost sneaks around
Sneaking, sneaking, without sound
*Boom* oh no, a nuke!

[10-Neon]

The Banshee, Wraith's child,
Turbofans, cloaking device,
Sweet scatter missiles.

Sadly, no AA,
Like Guardian, ground-only.
Valkyrie, reversed.

No more Goliath,
Lumpy Viking replaces,
It says, "Churn and burn!"

Built at Factory,
Twin chainguns, two legs, nimble,
Upgrade makes it fly!

Cobra, not Vulture,
I do not much understand.
Shoots while moving...fine.

Predator, fighter.
Shoots air and ground, one cool note:
It shoots down missiles.

Starbase: Starport plus,
Always lifted off, why land?
Build ships while flying.

People won't shut up...
About...what?, the Thor, quite big.
One shot: dead PF.

What is a PF?
Planetary Fortress, yup:
CC plus big guns.

Not just the PF
Many new buildings! Old changed!
I can't say enough...

Here, I pass my torch,
YouTube is more coherent:
BlizzCon: Terran Race (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcHeto_NSRo)

Watch them, be amazed.
They cover much more than I
Format: not haiku.

I've played SC2,
Of course: I was at BlizzCon.
Don't hold back questions!

[-LT-]

Again a batch of great haikus ;D

[Remy]

I wish to reply
comment on the posts at hand
haiku thread this is

Though the fact remains
poetry man I am not
I will play along

First I drop my jaw
rub my eyes in disbelief
take a better look

Can't believe my eyes
utterly awesome they are
10-Neon's haikus

Power up it is
you deserved one all along
it's a big thumbs up

Took me long enough
but I got my point across
I loved what I saw

[tweakismyname]

remy's a cool dude
but his haikus really suck
they make people sad

[Remy]

Here's tweakismyname
he's my evil overlord
I do what he says

Yes my haikus suck
you're my evil overlord
what you say is true

I apologize
For haikus that suck so bad
oh, what have I done!

[tweakismyname]

better but on the first 1 you have to remember that when you put 's to a word it adds a syllable

[10-Neon]

Contraction: the point?
You cut down on syllables!
Don't you love cheating?

Doesn't always work...
"Doesn't", "you're", "they're"...see?
I say "here's" with one.

[ShdwyTemplar]

Back on topic now,
How long until Zerg are here?
I hope they come soon.

Episode 1. Choices

The fire consumed me.
Choice divided me swiftly,
to live or to die?

The blade came to life,
my answer was now chosen.
The blade made my choice.

Standing I prepared,
The berserk beast made one charge.
My blade cut it down.

More would follow now,
All would perish at my hand.
Now? Now I'm free.

[lurkers_lurk]

ah, haikus, its been a while since ive read some, really good piece of art, really hard to get good at it or even bad( this may not apply to everybody ). reading these brings a tear to my eyes.

[ShdwyTemplar]

Now for number two.

Episode 2. Onslaught

[i]Silence around me,
I grasped the shadows near,
I moved onward.

Silence now broken,
I heard the cry of the beast.
I moved onward.

Closer now it came,
the unknown cry of the beast.
Still I went forward.

Seconds past, nothing.
Then I saw the new horror.
How long would I last?

Undaunted now,
I threw threw myself upon it.
The blade struck home.

More cries from nearby,
I pushed aside the dead beast,
More would join it soon.

[Fenix]

Oh my, necropost
Third time I have done that here.
This thread is awesome.

Now for some StarCraft.
Hm. What should I write about?
Oh ho! I got it!

A molasseses gun,
That is what the Cobra has
Seriously dude.

It makes them all slow,
Like they're wading through a pool
'Cept not so wet *Wink*

Well, I don't like it.
It's too random for StarCraft
Fits more in WarCraft.

On the other hand,
Damn, those Reapers are awesome.
I always liked 'em.

Jumping off tall cliffs....
That would be uber-awesome.
Well, if you ask me.

Necropost complete.
I hope you all enjoyed it.
Please, please. No applause.

[10-Neon]

Observer, how quaint.
Blizzard is running low now...
How about some Zerg?

We have Ovies now!
Floaty, dangly, pointy...
What's with the big orbs?

Is it raining out?
What is falling from the sky?
Crap, balls of plasma.
(BC upgrade, Plasma Torpedo)

[Fenix]

Woo hoo, number four.
Damn. I'm so frikken awesome.
I, necroposter.

Freakin' stupid Blizz
Give us the Zerg already!!
I think I might die.

Anyhoo, I suck
Haiku's really aren't my thing.
Signing off, Fenix.

[10-Neon]

There is that one thing,
We don't any pictures...
It has a dumb name.

One, two, four Jackals,
One shot, how many dead lings?
Is splash all you have?

What about the Thor?
They say it is smaller now.
We need images!
