Haiku For you

[feeshy]

Land of Blind? What's that-
Venetian? Roller? Roman?
Dark 'til string is pulled.

Land of Blind? What's that-
Venetian? Roller? Roman?
Dark 'til string is pulled.

Raxacorical-
falapatorius, yeah.
Not For me.

Needles are pointy.
Cross-stitching rude messages-
Fingers highly stabbed.

Needles are pointy.
Cross-stitching rude messages-
Fingers highly stabbed.

Cryptic our message,
Syllables must be obeyed,
Coded example.

Citrus sphere, nom nom
Eponymous colouring
Piled white insides

[feeshy]

Can't think of topic
Therefore this haiku becomes
Totally pointless.

Interesting choice
The subject is no subject
More meta than us

[ChainsawMao]

watched strange anime,
Utawarerumono,
now I am confused.

rewatching first ep,
made a haiku to help me
keep track of the plot

started off simple:
the protagonist wakes up
an amnesiac

next to him: a girl,
with animal ears and tail.
her name: Eruruu

the opening starts,
spoilers fly accross the screen
an awesome song plays.

The healers cottage,
Aruruu, Tusukuru,
then out for a walk

the tail incidicent,
more characters introduced,
then soldiers arrive...

One called Nuwangi,
is bitten by his own mount.
Mockery follows...

Eruruu is grabbed,
Protagonist intervenes,
Nuwangi storms off.

While they head home,
Nuwangi breaks a rock pile.
Rain begins to fall.

Townsfolk realise,
Mutikapa is angry,
Nuwangi to blame.

the shrine needs fixing:
Mutikapa's a giant
bulletproof tiger.

Back at the cottage,
all asleep. Rain stops falling.
A huge white tiger roars....

the ending plays,
final image: a spoiler,
title in lyrics.

Episode preview:
Giant tiger, a pitchfork,
Badass Teoro.

hours later, you realise:
still on tv tropes

[Haruhiist]

Workload piling up,
This is getting so silly,
Help me, heeeeelp meeee! ~tear

Workload piling up,
This is getting so silly,
Help me, heeeeelp meeee! ~tear

Procrastination:
playing instead of working.
Aim To Avoid This.

Instead make a list:
your work sorted by date due.
complete first on list

1) is list empty?
2) then {goto line 5} else
3) {complete next task}

4) goto line 1.
5) warning: goto leads to
6) raptor attacks

[ChainsawMao]

some people perhaps
consider this haiku spam.
They are incorrect.

continuing with
utawarerumono:
second episode...

a mob of peasants,
an enraged mutikapa...
winner obvious.

atop its corpse pile,
the tiger roars at the moon.
*cuts to opening*

townsfolk repair shrine.
protagonist called "An-chan".
shiny fur is found...

Aruruu says "ya",
Teoro laughs. Night approaches,
Mutikapa comes...

An-chan steps outside
Mutikapa, eating corpse,
notices movement.

he grabs a pitchfork;
pitchfork fails. mauled by tiger,
lands in puddle, bleeding

Eruruu trys, but
unable to help. rain falls,
Mutikapa flees

in the town meeting,
tiger's achillies heel found:
fur is weak when wet

the plan is formed:
a water filled hole is made,
concealed by branches

the tiger is lured,
battle fan used for first time,
much running follows

rope cut, springing trap,
tiger soaked and surrounded,
stabbed repeatedly...

later in village,
a frantic search fails to find...
pregnant Aruruu?!?

not really, it is
mutikapa's baby cub
concealed within clothes

Aruruu keeps pet,
An-chan now named Hakouro
*ending credits play*

episode preview:
sick girl, bells and pink powder,
Hakouro attacked?!

Reading translated haikus
Bears surprises, because
The syllable count isn't right

[feeshy]

Non-conformity
In haiku makes me upset.
Numbers must be right...

[ChainsawMao]

another ep of
utawarerumono
in a haiku form:

Hakouro learns that
Eruruu and Aruruu's
namesakes are flowers

*the opening plays*
deserters show up at village,
get to eat porridge

but later that night,
Tusukuru is kidnapped.
Hakouro rides out...

headlocked from behind
by a stranger with a sword!
Hakouro counters.

short fight broken up:
Tusukuru intervened.
Hakouro confused.

Oboro introduced,
Twin Traps and a hidden fort,
Ill girl given bell.

confined to her bed,
sickly from birth, yet happy,
her name: Yuzuha

after a brief chat,
they return to the cottage,
and meet Eruruu

next day, a surprise:
goods taken by soldiers were
returned overnight

later that evening,
traps have an urgent request:
come to the fort, quick!

reason becomes clear:
Yuzuha has gotten worse.,
purple paste is made

the girl recovers
but will relapse given time,
without medicine.

needing cash for drugs,
Oboro's theft attempt fails,
flees with nothing

Benawi finds him,
Oboro's first worf effect,
Benawi walks off

searching for honey,
Aruruu discovers an
injured Oboro

back in the village,
fat man and soldiers arrive.
*cue ending credits*

episode preview:
Tusukuru hurt, mob formed,
fat man licks his lips.

Haiku synopses
Shall we give them their own thread?
(keeps this thread pure too)

[feeshy]

Anime haikus-
Problem- many episodes
Haiku overload...

[Pureferret]

A break from japan
And the Cartoons within it
Haiku Are Set Free

A Lonely Diamond,
Floating in a cold river.
We meet in the end.

................................

A Chrome Covered Heart.
A lead weight inside of me,
Will sink and not swim

No Tarnish Remains
This Dead metal Valve holds all.
But lets nothing in.

Haiku synopses
Shall we give them their own thread?
(keeps this thread pure too)

perhaps you are right.
this thread has been distorted
by those three long posts.

already this page is
longer than the page before,
but space still remains:

more haikus can be
appended to page, further
extending it. anyway....

time for a return
to the meaningful haikus
we had before this
____________________________

in lecture right now,
made haikus instead of notes;
bad choice come exams.

Whilst haiku might show
Reflection, distillation;
Poor essay answer

This does not imply
Haiku does not fit within
Academia

Effort in crafting
Reflection, distillation;
Good revision tool?
