Title: Jim's Daily 5-7-5
Post by: Jim Halisstrad on October 12, 2006, 12:55:10 AM
When I'm not fighting the forces of good upon my mighty stallion of darkness and fire, I write in the style of haiku.
I figure I should start posting them because, hey, unless it's the weekend I have nothing better to do at night.

So, check back every so couple of days and check out the poems yo.

The Coyote Lord.

The Coyote Lord.
His madness spreads across space,
time, and the aether.

White Blanket

White Crystals swallow
The landscape, shimmering so
beautiful this morn

My eyes burn fiercly
Dreams and darkness have not found
me since the full moon

My stomach hurts bad
Fourteen pounds of cheese later
I have much regret

Daylight is my foe
Feared by man, my reign is night.
What creature am I

The Vampire Bat is what I was describing, but the riddle was so vague that wolf would have worked.

Mushrooms are only the enemy if you eat the wrong (maybe right?) ones :p

Wolves can be active during the day, though.

Speak for yourself.  They scare the shit out of me.   :paranoid

I couldn't think of anything interesting today, so I just did a 5-7-5 for a random forumite.


Monkey in a box
Or it's just hidden from sight
Cardboard stealth tactics

This topic needs bump
But who would expect it from
a mushroom of shade?

I am the mushroom, if all is well. My queen! My queen! Is that thine voice I hear? Nay, for the poison hath reached mine veins, and hallucinating is I. Oh woe! The shadows are out at quarter past four, come to spirit me back to my cell. Wait not for me, friends, for I am already dead!
   O, a mushroom. My ears for a mushroom!

*flops listlessly*
