    Haikus
    are
    LAME
    Likstrandens ormar som spyr blod och etter, Ni som blint trampar Draugs harg
    På knä I Eljudne mottag död mans dom, Mot död och helsvite, ert öde och pinoplats

    You are just jealous
    That you can't make a haikus
    I say let's do it

    Typical haikus
    Do include a seasonal
    Reference in them.

    Rain in Epiros
    Cloaks in wintry grey the earth
    Red with Roman blood.

    Golden torques gleam bright
    With courage in spring sunshine
    But where's your trousers?

    Why not do Renga?
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renga

    Its the poetry game that was the father of Haikus.

    Basically someone starts of with a 7-5-7 and the next goes 7-7 and then it repeats with each of us adding to the whole poem.

    Not really, he just lies to give the impression that he does something.

    Windy Steppe grassland
    Turned into storm
    horse gallops echoed across the field

    Rain of arrows
    Stained the green grass red
    Field of blood

    Then the horsemen came
    and charged the mighty phalanx
    more blood stained the field

    So the hopeless men
    drawed their sword, tried to fight
    more blood stained the field

    The kontos pierced them
    the horses crushed their bodies
    more blood stained the field

    They started routing
    the horsemen were slaughtering
    more blood stained the field

    Mighty Seleukos
    trembling, his army dying
    more blood stained the field

    Horsemen slaughtered them
    King Seleukos, was no more
    more blood stained the field

    Enemies' bodies,
    Seleukos' army was dead
    more blood stained the field

    And the horsemen,
    looked for survivors, not any
    more blood stained the field

    There were parties
    all along the vasts steppes
    the Saka had won

    It wasn't a small feast
    No more seleukids, no more
    the Saka had won

    We are pillaging
    the cities of ancient worlds,
    no one can stop us.

    You ask us: Since when?
    We shout at you: since 2

    Then you stay quiet.
    We look insane in your eyes,
    you leave us alone.
