Haikus

My friends were talking about all these boss characters they were going to run on a variety of mounts. I decided to add to their dialogue with the following Haikus, which I wrote myself -

A haiku about waywatchers -

How many points did you
spend? For that boss character,
his mount? No matter.


another one -

Fly on, glorious
steed. Ignore their arrows! Oh
wait. no. I am slain.

You have got to have been high when you wrote this. However, interesting things does come out of situations like that. in this case, Warhammer haiku.

Grey quill feathered shaft
flys as the autumn leaves fall
red on the dry grass

If you're not a warrior poet you aren't fully Asrai. ;)

There is no problem in the Wood Elven condition that cannot be solved with the appropriate application of a sufficient quantity of Big Amber Spear.

Many points for
Squishy elven archers sly
In their wake death sleeps.

"Haiku, interesting just googled it

Elves living in trees
Dancers kill lots of beastmen
Bane of designers

Now I am going to play all my games in Haiku.

Now I march eighteen
Magic phase, dwellers below
Goodbye fellow elves

Shooting hits twelve
Wounds eight, armor save's 1, Ha!
Don't cry, you poor sport



You know, I can't stop
My inner poet is free
Thanks, Coastalsailing <.<

Oh well, I'm not much of a poet but every now and then I try.
