Oddworld Haikus
 
This might be fun.
If you don't know what a Haiku is, it's a short (3 lines) japanese style poem that doesn't rhyme.
example=
Frog hops
water splashes
water is calm

Okay here's my oddworld one=

Abe speaks
Mudokon walks
splat

Actually a haiku is a Japanese poem with 3 lines with the first line 5 syllables, the second like 7 syllables, and the third line 5 syllables again. Nice try though. :)

Oh, and are you trying to make like a contest thing? 'Cuz if so I'll try to think of a haiku.

odd chick 01-31-2005 03:50 PM

Here's one. It's just a random one that I thought up.

Munch swims gracefully,
and he finds a dark tunnel.
He wonders what's there.

Under-Foot 01-31-2005 04:32 PM

You're right Kimon, should have listened better in english last year I guess. :P
Ya sure, how about its a contest.
Keep dem haiku's comin.
And nice one odd chick.

Kimon 01-31-2005 04:52 PM

S'Okay Under-Foot. :) I'll do one now:

Abe saves his brothers
They are now chanting at home
There are more out there

odd chick 01-31-2005 10:06 PM

That's a good one, Kimon. And thanks for the compliment, Under-Foot! :)

Leto 01-31-2005 11:07 PM

Under foot, I thought you were Alcar because of your avatar! XD
Heres a crack at one from moi...

Munch lost his brothers,
Now he must raise his species,
Now wish him good luck.

(Lazy last line, I didn't know how to conclude it :p)

Under-Foot 02-01-2005 04:38 AM

Ya I guess I should change my avater, I'm new to these forums so I didn't really know who had what.

Splat 02-01-2005 07:54 AM

You have as much rite to it as Alcar. It wouldn't be on the list if you couldn't.
I did 2:

Greeters block Abe's path.
Unlucky slig gets possessed:
Greeters all go boom.


Abe sneaks silently
But noise wakes slig; Abe is shot.
Good job I Quiksaved

Smell 02-01-2005 11:35 AM

Erm, I had a go

In the boiler room
Abe turs the power weel off
Ruptre Farms stops dead

and another go...

The birds form portals
The mudokons jump right through
Abe has rescued them. (Lame line)

Splat 02-02-2005 11:29 AM

ndeed he has! Nice ones smell

Fuzzle Guy 02-02-2005 01:16 PM

Stranger caught a Skunk
Then he killed the Looten Duke
and got some money

Abe farts on a stage
Big Face pushes him off
Three wierdo's come

Munch just broke some eggs
Abe was mad and possesed him
Then he blew Munch up!

odd chick 02-02-2005 04:24 PM

Ha ha! :D I really like your last one, Fuzzle Guy. Good haikus, everyone! :)

Smell 02-04-2005 09:39 AM

cool haikus:)

Abe was caught by sligs
What on earth was he to do?
Why escape of course!

Billy Cripner 02-04-2005 09:56 AM

stranger sees bad guy
stranger take out his gun and...
BOOM! no bad guy now

or

Mudokons work hard
Abe frees all the mudokons
Mudokons happy:D

Fuzzle Guy 02-04-2005 09:58 AM

Maggog on the March
News to let you take a snooze
I'm your host Slig Greg

Under-Foot 02-04-2005 10:10 AM

Those are awesome

Abeguy 02-04-2005 01:28 PM

Abe rolls into rock
He is mad and cusses bad
Abe keeps on rolling

Corney, I know

Biggy Bro Slig 02-05-2005 11:07 AM

Abe dropped dead once
a slig came along
he ate little abe

Kimon 02-06-2005 07:26 AM

:

Abe dropped dead once
a slig came along
he ate little abe

That has 4 syllables, then 5, then 5 again. Nice poem though.

Stranger bags bounties
He goes to the bounty store
Then he gets moolah

Fuzzle Guy 02-06-2005 10:34 AM

Abe ran from a slog
He then possed him
And did the CanCan

odd chick 02-06-2005 05:57 PM

Scrabs screach out loudly.
Abe wanders into their land.
They begin to chase.

Smell 02-08-2005 10:30 AM

Paramite climbs web
Calls to other paramite
They climb together

Biggy Bro Slig 02-09-2005 12:06 AM

A scrab dies painfully
and a fleech eats him
and slurg eats the fleech

Leto 02-09-2005 12:12 AM

Abe-a-gogo is
A pretty funny name
For Oddworld: Abes Game

:P

That's really cute, Super Munch! :)
Paramites scatter
About the vast, dark forest.
Then they eat their prey.

Leto 02-09-2005 04:45 PM

Wha? Whats cute about it? I was commenting on the fact that Abe-a-gogo is a rather funny name. Thanks for the compliment though :P

odd chick 02-09-2005 09:19 PM

I meant it was cute in a sort of funny and strange way. Oh, nevermind... :D

Smell 02-10-2005 09:19 AM

Mudokons are cute
They are not there for eating
There normal creatures

*sigh* That's actually really lame :(

I write lame haikus
I won't get better at them
Oh well tough, I'll live
