http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku_in_English
7-5-7 (standard)
in stead of season in each haiku I suggest the rule is as folling; you must at least use 1 starcraft term in it. please join me for the sake of starcraft art

Marines push out
lings engage suddenly
dear stim packs ready

Will we die he asks
it depends entirely
banelings in main

Stop this at once
no time to waste right now
SCV's flee quick

Try best to micro
Spread out be quick about it
recall your rines

Forget not to spend
let's make a factory
and engineering

I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly's a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Are you saying here
That I broke the rules by not
mentioning Starcraft?

This is quite petty
Since I was trying to help
Jealous of my poems?

With ease I see why
I am the best, by and by
Like a scout I fly

Even rhymes I make
Poems that can take the cake
Your contain I break

The game begins now.
Protoss faces Zerg today.
A battle occurs.

I forge fast expand.
He makes a spawning pool first
and rushes with lings.

I scout some zerglings
attacking towards my base.
My wall isn't tight.

Zerglings in my base!
I attack them with my probes.
My cannons finish.

The lings are held off
He therefore expands twice fast.
I start ground attack.

Chronoboost zealots!
These fearsome warriors will
"Crush the Zerg!" -Brood War

The zealots attack!
His many drones are sliced up!
He has no third base.

The cunning Zerg calms.
A lair is up, spire starts.
Mutas will arrive.

I scout his main fast.
The fearsome spire sits there.
Mass cannons are built.

Zealots and archons:
The mutalisk zerg's nightmare.
Shall I beat mutas?

Suddenly I see
Mutas darkening the sky
I tremble in fear.

He goes for the main.
My archons are in the nat.
I send them up fast.

The unthinkable-
Archons trapped by my big wall.
My face hits the desk.

I have lost my main
The game is unwinnable.
A ragequit occurs.

The Zerg won the game.
His mutas stole my ladderpoints.
I am unhappy.


True story :D
going to do PvP and PvT later.
@TheToast Jealous? As if!

roaches and hydras
scuttle towards the protoss
so they can engage

one hydra returns
bloodied, bruised, he sputters

The morning birds sing
As I wake up this morning
For starcraft playing.

Matches are queued first
The first game is a Protoss-
A micro battle.

The map is Shipyard
We both spawn cross positions,
Both of us protoss.

I play defensive,
He, as protoss, does four gates.
The game is all in.

My sentries are good.
The force field does its work.
Enter Immortal.

He is camping now
A mass of stalkers outside
But I have the tech.

I break the contain.
An expo is planted for me.
His proxy observes.

Alarmed, I notice
Pylon in my natural.
It gets dismantled.

The final battle-
His gateway army and me
My tech dominates.

The bad manner starts
"Suck my !@#$ noob" he remarks.
And ragequit he does.

GG! :D
Again true, but didn't happen today.

Edit: another PvP-

The 1v1 obs
The game of 1v1 mismatch.
Low level player mobs.

The first- PvP
Between a player and I
Plat also, like me!

I go a 3gate.
The transition is an expo.
He goes fast stargate.

As I get robo
Crouching fleet beacon, hidden?
Carriers perhaps?

But no, he is not.
At his main nexus, he dares to
QUEUE A MOTHERSHIP.

I am unsuspecting.
I get immortals and such.
His mothership comes.

I attack but fail.
His army holds mine, barely.
I retreat quickly.

A shock comes to me.
The mothership leaves his base.
I warp stalkers in.

He brings mothership
To my base, he will recall.
Army is scattered.

Mothership arrives.
Only 5 stalkers defend
The recall takes place.

He pulled all his probes.
I lose all my units fast.
Probes are pulled quickly.

More units warped in
Mothership and 2 stalkers
I have nothing left.

I graciously leave
with a kind "gg wp"
Others watched in awe.

You are suggesting
That my starcraft haiku skill
Is far less than yours?

Perhaps you should read
My post displays full knowledge

Sir, please... a haiku might be hard for you,
but listen here, to men of poetry,
Before its begun, I beg you not "adieu"
and do not regret, your complacency

Instead of haiku, there's a subtle art,
A waif could stake his failing health on't,
And write his way to being set apart,
If he'd turn from haiku toward sonnet

And though a rhyme be altogether weak,
Its metre prove sloppy, slovenly and sour,
A life without a deal of effort's bleak,
Condusive to writers lazy and dour

So please, listen to me, this tired man,
Beseeches you, be more, because you can.
The greatest burden a man must bear is choosing being understood over metrical footing :(
