The Haiku Game

[Celestial Healer]

On the black market
Money buys you everything
Even happiness

[Cuchulainn]

Even happiness
Mixed with the odd misery
Life's Rollercoaster

[Charles Scholz]

Life's Rollercoaster,
Even with all it's ups and downs
Has been fun. Go Life.

[Charlie Bell]

Has-been fun: "Go Life,"
Cross between Life and Go Fish,
No longer played much.

[The Jade]

No longer played much
1st edition D&D
Still has its charms though

[Chris Mortika]

Verrry nicely played, Mr. Bell.

[Charles Scholz]

Still has its charms, though.
Hearts, Moons, Stars, Clover, Diamonds.
Lucky Leprchaun.

[Cuchulainn]

Lucky Leprechaun
Investing in gold early
Strong portfolio

[The Jade]

Strong portfolio
Lifts its weight in pounds sterling
Its stocks are stocky

[Cuchulainn]

Its stocks are stocky
Perfect for restraining dwarves
Hurl the rotten fruit!

[Dragonborn3]

"Hurl the rotten fruit
away from me!" said all the
prissy little elven girls.

[Chris Mortika]

Prissy elven girls
haughtly sling teenage barbs
as I grow wizened.

[Dragonborn3]

As I grow wizened,
said the really old archmage
No, I mean Wizard.

[Cuchulainn]

"no, I mean Wizard!"
"Too late, fool!" laughed the efreet
My scales are itchy

[TheChozyn]

My scales are itchy
My new self is a kobold
Reincarnation

[Dragonborn3]

Reincarnation
Sometimes a bugbear, other times
Play the Badger song.

[Cuchulainn]

"Play the Badger Song!"
The drunken halfling shouted
Not AGAIN, he thought

[Chris Mortika]

Not again, he thought
of his beloved deceased,
but still and always.

[Cuchulainn]

But Still and Always
The Stone Juggernaut awaits
Foolish tomb robbers

[Charles Scholz]

Foolish tomb robbers
Looking for gold, finding Lich
Now guard of the tomb.

[Cuchulainn]

Now the guard of the tomb,
The mummified poodle was
Barking at shadows

[Dragonborn3]

Braking at shadows
Mordenkainen's Magical
Hound, I did cast it.

[The Jade]

Hound, I did cast it
Now you're supposed to fetch it
Allergic to sticks?

[Cuchulainn]

Allergic to sticks?
Then build your house out of bricks
It's wolf resistant

[Charlie Bell]

It's wolf resistant
So The Jade couldn't write one
After that haiku

[Chris Mortika]

"It's wolf resistant."
The smug mage thought all wolves were
lycanthropes. Big "oops".

Edit:
After that haiku,
I laughed and bayed at the moon.
Lycanthropes. Big "oops".

[Cuchulainn]

Lycanthropes. Big "oops"
The gift of silverware was
Thrown out the window

[Charles Scholz]

Thrown out the window
was Mace Windu. Palpatine
was Darth Sidious.

[Cuchulainn]

Was Darth Sidious
evil, or misunderstood?
Perhaps, he lacked tact

[Charles Scholz]

Perhaps he lacked tact.
Even a high Charisma score
can fail on bad rolls.

[Dragonborn3]

Can fail on bad rolls,
even the GM does this.
Hope for a 20.

[Chris Mortika]

Hope for a 20,
but pass the character sheet,
a pencil, and dice.

[Cuchulainn]

A pencil and dice
Are necessary tools for
The next adventure

[Celestial Healer]

The next adventure
Takes you to the mysterious
Realm in my trousers

[The Jade]

Realm in my trousers
Drink the milk of paradise
Pleasure dome indeed

[Cuchulainn]

Pleasure Dome indeed
As decreed by Chaka Khan
It's much funkier

[Chris Mortika]

It's much funkier
to whack a rust monster than
to fight kobolds again.

[Cuchulainn]

"To fight kobolds again..."
The old gnome said wistfully
"They squished so nicely."

[Charlie Bell]

commentary:

AWESOME literary pop culture cross-reference!

"They squished so nicely,"
Remarked the tyrannosaur,
Sated on mages.

[Cuchulainn]

Sated on mages
He rested and digested
Sitting for a spell

Thanks Charlie!

[drunken_nomad]

Sitting for a spell
risking initiative loss
Quick metamagic

[The Jade]

"Quick metamagic"
Inspired my latest song
Speed metal magic

[Spanky the Leprechaun]

mine!mine!mineminmine!
mine!mine!miminmine!emine!!mine!ne!
mine!mine!mine!byoches.

[The Jade]

"mine!mine!mine!byoches"
New Daffy Duck sure is hip
Kid's will love his slang

[Spanky the Leprechaun]

slang dang wang wang dang
sweet poon slang dang wanga dang
cherry blossoms fall.

[The Jade]

NICE

Cherry blossoms fall
Sweet flakes of petalled autumn
A snow that warms me

[Spanky the Leprechaun]

oh...I gotta use the last line....duuuuh.

[Spanky the Leprechaun]

A snow that warms me
I always wanted to die,
bleeding in the snow.

[The Jade]

Bleeding in the snow
Makes it hard to lose the law
Too dizzy to run

[Spanky the Leprechaun]

too dizzy to run
too invincible from rum
beatdown I won't feel.
