Grimrock Haiku

Post by Sir_Veillance »

I decided to write a haiku about Mount Grimrock. For those of you who are unaware what a haiku is, it's a poem that has 3 lines, first line 5 syllables, second line 7 syllables, third line 5 once again.
--------------------------------
Into Mount Grimrock
Mystery awaits, danger
Dreams, monsters, beware
--------------------------------
Obviously it's not a masterpiece, but I just did it for fun! Feel free to make up your own haikus and share them with the rest of us!

Also, a wonderful creation by BlueLegion!

The Mount of Grimrock,
Turn around lest you be killed,
Run for a crystal!
-PudgeHayward

Bones, bones everywhere
The signs of old prisoners
Will I be the next?
-Sir_Veillance

Bollocks on a stick,
I am all out of torches!
What is the light spell?
-Curunir

The Maw beckons, death,
Life strives, against great evil,
In the end, survive?
-Darklord

Into Mount Grimrock
Mystery awaits, danger
Dreams, monsters, beware

The Maw beckons, death,
Strive for life, against great evil,
In the end, survive?

Ha, I really like this, but I think it has one problem. Your second line appears to have 8 syllables.
Strive for life, a-gainst great e-vil
I suppose you could remove the great, but it seems to remove some of the feel of the poem. But seriously, amazing other than that. I really like it!

The Mount of Grimrock,
Turn around lest you be killed,
Run for a crystal!

Oh god, I'm so bad at poetry ;w;

Nobody is here to judge you, it was a great Haiku in my opinion! And also Darklord, I like your improved version!

Ha, I like that! So here's another one.

Bones, bones everywhere
The signs of old prisoners
Will I be the next?
