Here's a haiku thread
Complain about Uncharted
But in haiku form
No need to complain
Just write about anything
But in haiku form
Keep it Uncharted
This isn't for Off-Topic
Keep in MPG
Trawnza, I hate you
When will you stop moving threads
To this dead section?
Format (reminder for those who don't know how to write haikus)
Top: five syllables
The middle row gets seven
Bottom: also five

First off, like memes, haiku have a proper form, and it's not to tell glaringly obvious stories or to rhyme. That said, we ripped up the meme forms, so have at it any way you like.
Distant idol gleams
Golden in the cordite air
Always out of reach
Large, beyond all scale
Taunting. Haka shakes the ground

This is a great idea... watch it blow up in popularity.
Contributing myself: (Let me know if I've messed this up, I'm terrible at poetry)
It is a huge mess
Destroying teammates, causing distress
Revenge, what a mess

Death beyond the wall
Ten yard pull down. Quick grenade.
You can not win. Lag.

I capture the hill
And then I go for the kill
And I use L1.
As I go behind
the player, I snap his neck
but he drops a 'nade.

C'mon. Not ANOTHER haiku thread.
Kidding. I thought about starting this exact thread a while ago after posting a few replies in haiku form, but I bailed. Kudos.
Here are two past examples I posted (if I'm remembering them correctly)
Detested gun mod
makes forumers heads explode
M9 Rate of Fire
Successful stealth kill
But green triangle fails me
Revenge strikes again

These are really, really good. I thought you were an engineer of some sort. What's with the sudden literary flair, Shakespeare?
I mean, "gleams / Golden in the cordite air"? Nice.

I am an engineer, by profession, but I wrote a lot of poetry when I was a teenage geek wishing women would like me... ![]()

Village of Desert,
high ground to some you bequeath
obscene advantage.
Come, grasp the idol,
come, teammate, let us win gold!
O! A teamkill; DRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!
By the spawn points of
yore, let us not spawn safely,
let us spawn in death!
Upon thee, Smoke Bomb
I call, upon thee Smoke Bomb,
I trust! O, Traitor!
