I've seen some fantastic Spam Haiku online, but haven't seen any Uru Haiku, so I issue a challenge to the poetic Artisans of D'ni! Let's see some Uru Haiku!

For those unfamiliar with it, haiku is a Japanese poem composed of three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables.

I'll start off(not the greatest, but you'll get the idea):



Oh, cruel Teledahn
You thwart my forward progress
With scope that won't track

Posted by: Gadren Dec 13 2004, 01:02 PM

Kadish Tolesa
Leaves falling from endless trees
Purple, grey, and black

Posted by: Mysti Sage Dec 13 2004, 02:28 PM

You think you see it,
But really, you have not seen.
Ghosts of what was.

Posted by: Gadren Dec 13 2004, 03:38 PM

you're missing a syllable on the last line, Mysti.

Relto, the high place
Fissures, pools, and sticks and stones
That get lost beneath

Posted by: Rex Havoc Dec 13 2004, 09:07 PM

Fire flies of Kemo
Let me pass with your brilliance
Now, back to Gira

Posted by: d'rbeh Dec 13 2004, 09:55 PM

please oh please help me
link in to any station;
maybe use some wings?

Posted by: devonette Dec 13 2004, 10:22 PM

My footsteps echo
Through the City that once was
Home to Age Writers

Posted by: Rex Havoc Dec 14 2004, 01:37 PM

My favorite Age
Kemo storms moving in fast
Cleansing the Spirit

Posted by: Ayli Dec 14 2004, 01:54 PM

Through the fissure fell
Softly landed on the Cleft
Bahro's screems I've heard

Posted by: Moranda Dec 15 2004, 05:20 PM

Taking Totems back
to their rightful place of rest,
frees the Bahro souls.

Posted by: Rex Havoc Dec 15 2004, 05:25 PM

Oh, very nice Mo!!! These are great!!

Rex starts scratching his head, ok, time for another!!

Posted by: Rex Havoc Dec 15 2004, 07:57 PM

(Head scratching has stopped...)

City Lights tour brings
Many ooh's and ahs from all
Let's go again. Cat's!

Who has seen Yeesha,
Bringer and taker of books
And red butterflys?

Posted by: RR_Caz Dec 15 2004, 10:21 PM

Kadish pillars rise.
Crash of stone thunder. Climb up!
Music, like wind wafts...

Posted by: kurtg1265 Dec 15 2004, 11:00 PM

I need a greeter
Oh where can I find one now
Near the tent, of course

Posted by: Rex Havoc Dec 17 2004, 04:32 PM

The tent beckons me
This stupid rope, greased again
Attempt number 10…

Posted by: Moranda Dec 17 2004, 09:08 PM

once upon the tent
walk carefully to one side
or you will fall in

Posted by: kurtg1265 Dec 17 2004, 10:24 PM

In the Nexus again
Where do I want to go now
I'll go to the city

Posted by: RR_Caz Dec 17 2004, 11:43 PM

basket case again
covet Gira journey cloths
why thy fireflies fly

Column of Avies
Looks pretty festive from here
Cats is an artist!

Posted by: kurtg1265 Dec 18 2004, 12:00 AM

All alone on the city
A chilling quiet is in the air
I hear the Bahro scream

Posted by: Rex Havoc Dec 18 2004, 11:20 AM

Stairway to heaven?
Wait, they happen to be cones!
Caz, Cats and Ayli!!



edit: Hmmm, Caz, Cats & Ayli, sounds like a good name for a law firm!!

Fissure on Relto
Falling through the stars is fun
Landing is rough, though!

Posted by: Moranda Dec 18 2004, 08:54 PM

Calibrate GZ
Find the markers glowing, light
the path of the shell

Posted by: Rex Havoc Dec 18 2004, 09:00 PM

Speaking of Markers
Rex is distraught. Can't find one.
Lost in the City.

Posted by: Ayli Dec 18 2004, 09:16 PM

Seek the markers at
Balconies and Gallery
They might hold them too

Posted by: d'rbeh Dec 18 2004, 11:55 PM

here i sit alone
can't get in UU right now
how i miss that place....

Posted by: RR_Caz Dec 19 2004, 03:25 PM

I am entertained
this thread doth pique my interest
I laugh, I cry, woot!

Posted by: Rex Havoc Dec 19 2004, 10:37 PM

Crashing through the Age
With Shadowcats at my side
I stop and smile, wide

Cat's Siggy vanished.
Wherefore art thou, yes, indeed.
Lost in cyberspace!

Sadly, I must sleep
Missing the laughter of friends
Deep within D'ni...


Sorry! I'm on a roll!! But the above is true...

New Ki, now in hand
Guess I will go try it out
Poor Indy, now bored

Poor Indy, now bored
no, that he will never be
new things will come

I first wanted to write this

Posted by: Shadowcats Dec 22 2004, 11:21 AM

Poor cat's is lost
He knows not how it goes
Did not I do right

Posted by: devonette Dec 22 2004, 01:00 PM

Use five syllables
Then seven, then five again
And you'll do fine, Cats

Posted by: Rex Havoc Dec 22 2004, 01:33 PM

Oh, poor Shadowcats
Seems Haiku confuses him
Stick with cone sculpture!

Posted by: Moranda Dec 22 2004, 02:21 PM

The D R C left
leaving Phil's body behind.
He they could not find

Wow! The city is hopping
City here I come!

Sinchronized moves learned
By the dancing troup tonight
Who were very good

Posted by: Rex Havoc Dec 26 2004, 08:37 PM

The Holidays done.
Back to the same, old, routine
Can you say boring?

The D'ni Dancers
Step left, step right, forward, back!
Jump, cheer, bow to crowd!!

3 stanza haiku poem retelling the story of Uru


as the ages fell
the D'ni fate was sealed
unmade by their fear

one clan survives
all alone in the vast tree
a spark in darkness

with time others came
drawn to the sacred city
stoking the flame with fresh eyes

Posted by: Joseph May 12 2005, 12:08 PM

Love it!!

What a blast from the past!!!

Shorah Ayli!

I was poking around the site and found this thread, thought I'd add my own. It certainly has been awhile; downright shocking how time gets away from me. It seems like only a few months since we've all chatted.

I hope everyone is well, it seems like this place is still pretty hoppin' !

Posted by: 4dak May 12 2005, 07:19 PM

The un-seen have come
I shall have no fear of them
For they shall help me

Through the Myst we see

Shorah!
Great Haiku everyone.
I was wondering if any of you guys are willing to contribute some your poetry to Cavern Haiku, and uru anthology?
Is anybody interested in contributing?
If so, point out the poems you want submitted, and I will add them!
Ree

Posted by: Ayli May 28 2007, 11:01 AM

Hi Reelah,

Could you give as a little info on what's that anthology is all about, where it is going to be published or used for?

My haiku was a fluke, I don't have a poetic sense :lol :I have one on this thread

Posted by: Reelah May 28 2007, 12:56 PM

It is a compilation of fan written haiku, that will be available in PDF format. I would've liked to publish it, but as self publishing websites such as lulu.com, don't accept fanfic, i cant
But I only have a few haiku's so far, I am looking for more!

Blue skies on Relto.
A new Relto page, perhaps?
No, just Photoshop!

Stargate is ending.
SG-1 always welcome

Congratulations to those included in the anthology!!

Reelah, the reason your pdf is in B/W is because you chose a black and white printer as your PostScript printer. You have to choose Adobe distiller in the printer selection or Generic Color printer. What program did you use to create your pages, I might be able to help you further.

Posted by: Rex Havoc Jun 17 2007, 10:41 PM

Ayli suggesting
Tips on printing are spot on
Master in the house!

Posted by: jarelav Jun 18 2007, 04:17 AM

Is it magical?
Document can be colored
Ayli has the touch

Posted by: jarelav Jun 18 2007, 12:40 PM

That is what I need
Generic color printer
Yet ink is costly

Posted by: Rex Havoc Jun 18 2007, 01:06 PM

Yes, it is costly
But, you can't take it with you
So spend while you can!

Posted by: jarelav Jun 18 2007, 03:48 PM

The point is taken
Rummaging thru my pockets
Pulls out a checkbook

Posted by: Rex Havoc Jun 18 2007, 03:49 PM

Coins drop to the floor.
Rex grabs as many as he can
Time for a soda!!

Posted by: Moranda Jun 18 2007, 03:54 PM

A quick soda pop!
Yummy, so good icey cold.
Thank's for the coke, Rex.

Posted by: Rex Havoc Jun 18 2007, 03:59 PM

Sure thing, anytime!
These can really hit the spot.
Recycle the can!

Posted by: jarelav Jun 18 2007, 04:37 PM

My quarters, no fair!
Deposit is a nickel
Thanks for recycling!

Posted by: Moranda Jun 18 2007, 07:16 PM

A nickle well spent.
But, in some states its ten cents.
Deposit, returned

Posted by: jarelav Jun 18 2007, 07:53 PM

Oh yes, Michigan
A ten-cent deposit state
Now I am thirsty

Posted by: jarelav Jun 19 2007, 01:24 AM

California
Over twenty-four ounces
Is a dime also

Posted by: Rex Havoc Jun 19 2007, 10:22 AM

Do people recycle
When it costs them more money?
Time for a survey!

Posted by: jarelav Jun 19 2007, 12:34 PM

I do recycle
Paper, cardboard, cans and such
Want to close the loop

Posted by: Rex Havoc Jun 19 2007, 12:35 PM

Maine recycles too
All containers included
Somewhat of a pain!

Posted by: jarelav Jun 19 2007, 12:40 PM

Never been to Maine
Some wine bottles, fifteen cents
I stick to soda

Posted by: Rex Havoc Jun 19 2007, 01:04 PM

IC, a topic
There are many opinions
All equal value.

Posted by: jarelav Jun 19 2007, 02:14 PM

To pay-as-you-throw
I don't pay for recycling
Else I would complain

Posted by: Moranda Jun 19 2007, 02:49 PM

No-Pay-Throw-away
Sounds like a good policy.
Recycle for free.

Posted by: jarelav Jun 19 2007, 05:02 PM

Hard to recycle
Contamination issue
Sorting, and bugs, too

Others want stories

Let us say it together
It is just a game

Posted by: J'iim Jun 19 2007, 08:35 PM

Happiness wanes
Yet still I play

Five syllables, then seven

How much do I have?

Go to the Cavern for help.
More than lemonade!

New areas and puzzles
And also sardines!

But what does it do?

Uran, it was called
Later, renamed Ashem'em
After a Healer

Died while on duty

Must grab the book, too

Of many ages.

Iceman writes weird stuff
About Bahro and D'ni.
