Those are gold :-) FYI ;) A haiku is an impersonal poem, at least at the first level of reading . It doesn't have a personal involvement. Nor does it express personal feeling, mood, satire, mockery. For that, there is the senryuu. Formally it is a poem with the same metric features as a haiku. It differs however from a haiku in that: -- it lacks the mandatory word referring to the season --it may use humor, subjects from everyday life, business, politics, love life or sensual ones --it is often bawdy, even crude --the poet is involved by describing himself and stating his opinions The demarcation line between haiku and senryuu is fluid. A slight change in the expression can move, within the same content, the haiku from one genre to the other. Many of the contemporary haiku are in fact senryuu.

A few from the weekly games I host at my joint. Muddled Hunter conceals stake No strike: combat ends? Gilbert the graverobber. Beast in torpor, bad! Anneke, Magnum, Blur Rushing without a grapple. Omaya wakes and blocks Aggravated, Rotschreck. Sadie the diabolist. Prey's deck relies on Theo I shall contest him No game for you. Cross-table "allies" engage Agree to strike hands for one. Prevent, Disarm, Decapitate. Cross-table bleed from flick, Lost in Crowds and Conditioned. "Ally" bled 7 at stealth. --> J [yes the last 2 are related] :P

You mean a haiku should be something like this: Sabbat in the fall Several high capacities PTO galore

My poetic skills probably suck, but heck, here comes some... Turku metagame haiku (I'm a whiner): One who does not add ten bounce cards to his deck will become bleed sink. Why?

Here's one I just came up with in a coffee-deprived haze: "No blocks? OK, I..." "Wait! I can play Eagle's Sight, But I choose not to." - Josh "Jozxyqk" Feuerstein

And another: Hey There, Goratrix! What you doing with that drum? Now I have to hunt. - Josh "Jozxyqk" Feuerstein
