Bravisimo!

Yours sincerely

[Kezzek]

Bravisimo indeed!

I read this after s/he posted it and figured it'd get enough congratulatory posts...but alas it received nothing til today. I'm sorry I waited, this kind of post is underappreciated by most people.

Luckless, please post more when you get a chance. I enjoyed your haiku very much.

I'm glad that you did pull it up. I'm new to the Safehouse, and that haiku was one of the best posts I've read - I've been reading for about 2 hours now.

Here's a haiki of my own...

I realize this has nothing to do with either the Safehouse or EQ, but it's so cursed funny I just had to post it.

Well, on the subject of haiku's, a friend bust out this bit of doggerel a while back. Had the highhold zone in stitches.

I saw this post and was touched. I still come back to read it when I'm feeling unguided or in need of a way to clear my head. As you can see I've bumped it before, and I felt like it was time for another good bump. =)

[EZ_BloodForge]

wow.

very nice, i think im actually going to print this out and read it before i play. inspirational.

Very enjoyable, that!

Haiku is an exceptional form, and if ye'd care ta listen, I'd like to say a few words about it... Although I mean not to critique the excellent story the Luckless Rogue wrote, Haiku is a bit different from what that poster made it. In particular,

It is a single verse
It is never 5-7-5 in English, and not always 5-7-5 in Japanese (Japanese has less information per "syllable". Haiku is about minimalism, and if ye wish to adhere to a 5-7-5, you'd find that 3-5-3 would contain about the same amount of information, as 5-7-5 in Japanese). And yes, the minimalism may leave room open to interpretation.
It always involves nature
It contains a word that informs you what season it is
Finally, yes, like the Luckless Rogue did, you may break the rules.

[EZ_Sebenu Sabaco]

Okay, the poem is very good. You are very creative to write a poem about a rouge. When reading the poem it felt like i was reading a story. It flowed very well and kept me intrested. But it is no Haiku. A Haiku should be 5-7-5, only 3 lines long. That is the traditional way to write a Haiku poem. The last two lines i did not understand how they fit into the Haiku form. Your poem is good and it is creative to brake the boundaries sometimes in writing but in respect for Haiku poets correct form is much more honorable when you say your poem is a Haiku.

[EZ_Daklin]

Is there really a reason to insult someone on not following a form perfectly? He expanded on the basic format of a haiku, or at least as it seems to be known in English. I doubt that any "Haiku poet" would be offended by this, it's beautifully written.

I mean, if I wanted to I could attack you on the grammatical errors and misspellings in your post, but I'm not going to because there isn't a point. If I had written this I would be angry as hell over a comment like that.

Back on topic - it was a really good read.

So simple.

This game we play is too often about being the Hero or anti-hero. Being the best and allways succeding.
Sometimes we just arnt that lucky.

BOOmp!

[EZ_Blik Quikksilver]

A great example of why the Safehouse is my favorite site.

Great post my friend .

[Peregin Falcon]

I never get tired of this one

[EZ_Zoogie]

>> Bravisimo!
The correct superlative of Bravo is Bravis<u>s</u>imo

The poem is very cool.

[Kezzek]

Perhaps this should be preserved on the Safehouse site somewhere...

Your typo of Rodcet Nife back then is pretty kooky as well.
