Sometimes when I’m sad
I look at the stars and see
A Terran marine

And all our problems
Don’t matter to him up there
Cause we’re far away

But that’s not all true
Because he cares about me
Cause I have no key ☹

Though this may sound quite contrived,
The trumpets, with passion revived
Sound with a flair
Hey, look over there -
The limerick king has arrived!
The above was a Limerick

I take a slow looksies around
And see the ash sky and the ground
And shake in disgust,
I feel that I must
Unleash my own doctrines profound:

Beset am I with what consists
Of random-ass words that resist
A structure, you see
So they'll always be
Bitch poems with a Japanese twist

So sorry Trozz, take no offense
But let this great hating commence
My battle's been won -
The war has begun
I take now my leave of absence
The above was a Limerick

Are you kidding me. Second time you posted this video today. It's not even funny.
Also, you already have a key, no?

Look at these mortals...
You are being summoned, Trozz,
Noone writes like you.

Come and it shall rain
Manna of sevens and fives,
You God of haikus!

I’ve tried all I could
And I am down on my knees
And begging you please

All my friends playing
Starcraft II have so much fun
I just want to join

I went to the stores
To preorder my copy
But they have no keys

I applied online
At Battle.net and I still
Wait for the e-mail

I tried the contests
On Facebook, Twitter and blogs
But I’ve won nothing

So please I ask you
In my last and final plea
To give me a key

How about a sonnet, or atleast a short passage from a potential one

You are the stressed ruler of my spare time
The lone emperor of my blizzard game
Blood is your breakfast, dinner green as lime
King of the rainbow, look at yellows name


Use the force.

I’ve always dreamt of
Getting a key to play in
The StarCraft Beta

I’ve always hoped to
Play with all the very best
In a 1 v 1

I’ve always wanted
To be in a game cast by
HD and Husky

Alas they’re but dreams
Unless you, I_Love_Bacon
Could give me a key

Can you tell us when you'll be judging? I'm working on a really long haiku that I want to finish on time.

SCV’s have drills
And claws to help them to mine
The mineral line

MULES have little pods
Which bring them down to help work
They look like WALL-E :D

Marines have Rifles
Which allow them to shoot foes
On ground or in air

And the Marauders
Have the Punisher Grenades
With Concussive Shells

Reapers have their wings
So Protoss and Zerg beware
The Ladybugs of Death!

Stealthy, silent Ghosts
Have long-range sniper rifles
And, of course, the nuke

And the Hellions
Have Infernal Flame Cannons
Roasted Zerglings? Yum!

And the Siege Tanks?
Whether in tank or in siege
They can do the job

Oh, the mighty Thor!
Hammers, Missiles, Strike Cannons
No need to explain

In both forms, Vikings
Can tear through an enemy
With Cannons/Missiles

And the Medivac
Although it has no weapon,
Has a beam to heal

The Ravens, they have
So much to offer: missiles
AT’s, PDD’s…

Tactical Banshees
They can strike hard from above
With Backlash Rockets

The Battlecrusier:
This Capitol Ship has its
Laser Batteries

And for the Protoss:
The Probe even has its beam
To help in trouble

The Charging Zealot
Has twin Psi Blades, that allow
For rapid slashing

The Stalker has a
Particle Disrupter to
Hit both Ground and Air

Pod-like Sentries have
Abilities at disposal
Shields, Fields, and Mind Tricks

Even the smallest
Have things that they can use
Observers… observe!

The sleek Immortal
Has two great phase disrupters
And a Hardened Shield

Even Warp Prisms
Can Load and Unload, to where
Units want to go

The grand Colossus
Has scorching Thermal Lances
And can Cliff Walk too!

Both swift and deadly,
The Phoenix traps with a beam
And kills with Cannons

If you see Void Rays
Beware of Prismatic Beams
Kill ‘fore it’s too late

The High Templars, they
Have Psionic Storm, and, well
That’s pretty much it

Now the Dark Templars
With blades or scythes, can kill you
Before you can say – …

When put together
Templars make the Archon, with
Psionic Shockwave

The Carrier has
Small ships of its very own
The Interceptors

And the Mothership
Vortexes, Fields, Mass Recall,
Purifier Beams

And as for the Zerg
Even the worker Drones have,
Spines to call their own

The speedy Zerglings
Have claws, so make sure you don’t
Let them surround you

The Queen: Brood Mother
Can defend if needed, with
Claws and Acid Spines

Now the Hydralisk
Has its Needle Spines, which will
Break through any wall

The sapper Baneling
Will run through your army’s midst
And quickly explode

The tough armored Roach
Can spit Acid Saliva
(Don’t get in the way!)

Infestors can use
Parasites, fungi, and spawn
Infested Terrans

Mutalisks have wings
To fly above enemies
And spit their Glaive Wurms

Flying Corrupters
Can spit their Parasite Spores
And turn to Brood Lords

The Ultralisk Beast
Has giant Kaiser Blades, and
Head Thrusts buildings too

Powerful Brood Lords
Spawns Broodlings to fire, and
Makes more if needed

Everyone has
Something… all but me, unless
I can have a key.






Phew. I was working on that all afternoon and night. Please can I have a key, I_Love_Bacon? Please?

9 Pylon, 10 Gate
13 Core, but all too late
Speedlings seal your fate.

Alternatively, a non-haiku without any end punctuation because I'm lazy:

+ Show Spoiler +
Blizzard leaves their turtle shell
Bringing us a game from Hell
All new units: Phoenix, Banshee
Hellion, Marauder, Thor and Sentry
Stalker, Immortal, Void ray, Corruptor
Infestor, Roach, Viking and Reaper

MULEs haul in minerals
Colossi bring 'Toss player lulz
Mothership brings down a Vortex
The Mutalisk looks like a T-Rex

Warp prism brings the DT Rush
Banelings turn Marines to mush
Overlords go around leaking creep
Brood lords make the Terrans weep

Ravens have a seeker missile
That I think should make a whistle
When the enemy hears that sound
They'll hurry, hurry - turn around

The Queen is grounded and in detention
And Nydus worms prove that you should carry protection
Corruptors force you to feel the pressure
And Roaches burn your units down at their leisure.

All in all, the game is fun
Though I can't say it's better than Starcraft 1
But it's still in beta, let's wait and see
For it'll surely come out by 2023
