Title: Haiku!
Description: Share Your DB Haiku here!

I think every fandom does haiku at some point and we should be no exception! :D So let's have some Dragon Booster haiku!
For anyone not familiar, a haiku is a Japanese form of non-rhyming poetry. A haiku is always three lines long, with the first line being exactly five syllables, the second line being exactly seven syllables and the third line again being exactly five. The number of words per line is irrelevant; only the number of syllables counts.
The best haiku are ones that state something profound or evocative, but funny or irreverent ones are good, too. Here's an example of one I found on the Internet:
Haiku is easy
But they don't always make sense
Refrigerator
:D It's a perfectly valid haiku. :)
Now let's do some Dragon Booster haiku!
Dragon of Legend
Black and gold dragon named Beau
Release the Dragon!
Propheci the great
An orange dragon so cool
Favorite of mine
Kitt Wonn and Artha
Quite a pair of teenagers
But who will Parm date?
Decepshun is sleek
With snake-like physique and charm
Might she marry Beau?
Dragons should rule all
So says Propheci with zeal
Maybe he is right!
OK, so those aren't so great ^_^ , but they're kind of fun to write. Now it's your turn! Post your haiku below.

Frachsun is a titch
But strength does not come from size
Go, blue dragon, go!

Parm is a big nerd
But without him Artha's stuck
Yay for those who think!
Abandonn is big
Woe to those caught underneath
Large feet hurt them much!

The Dragon Booster
A hero chosen by Beau
Save the world for all!
Red draconium
Black draconium and more
Gold to unite them!

Beau, the Blue&Red dragon
is the dragon of legend
he loves candy
Yum!

Well, that's not quite haiku. "Blue&Red" is still three syllables even when you leave out the spaces :), which makes your first line seven syllables long. You could have said "Beau, blue-red dragon" instead since that would have been the required five syllables. This is poetry, so we don't have to worry about grammar. :D
Here's a couple of more of mine:
Dragon-human war
Each wants to rule the other
Xenophobia
Red dragon Wyldfyr
A dragon loyal and swift
Companion to Kitt
SilverDragon - May 19, 2007 05:48 AM (GMT)
Word's off his rocker
He wants to start a big war
So that he can rule
Monobrow of doom
Borne by father and son
It shall rule the world
Fast as a red flash!
Kitt goes burning up the track
Too bad she's sidelined

Dragonola bars,
Dragons love them and want a
Cornucopia!
Noble of spirit,
Protectors and companions,
Dragons reign supreme!

Mortis dancing fast
What else is there to do down
there in the Priest's cave? :dance:
They have something in
common, Moordryd and Parmon
We've seen their boxers!
Shadows in the night
Slink the thieves, the Dragon Eyes
Beware the black crew.

Furox of the flame
Much hideous coloring
Bring fear to the war
(Not sure about the syllables in that one. Or any other one)
Evil Propheci
You scheme and plot in darkness
Waiting for weakness
Word Paynn father of
Shadow Booster Moordryd Paynn
Evil scheming old man
Artha Penn son of
Old man Connor Penn Mortis
Dragon Booster boy
Beau dragon hero
Legendary peace maker
Born again to lead
Pretty sure I used a couple extra syllables. Point them out and I'll try to fix 'em. :)

I only see a shortage of syllables in one--"Old man is evil", four rather than five. :P Otherwise, pretty good haikus! :)

:lol:
Mine ^_^:
I know of a guy,
Artha is an idiot,
Not legendary.
Kinda stupid I know,
But at least Artha took a blow! :lol:
(Not a haiku,
I know too)
(XD) I like rhymes with time.

Hideous coloring?? I beg to differ! Furox is strikingly handsome. ;)
Spiky-tail Furox
Aggressive dragon is he
Beware the red rage!

Haikus...
The sig says it all
but I admire your grace
in this form of art

Well, how about: "Much gorgeous red coloring" or "Strikingly handsome is he". Yes, I think that second one says it all. ;)
Red dragons are swift
Loyal and dependable
True nobility!
:dance:

"Strikingly handsome is he".

Yeah, that's a nice one. But those are your words, not mine. :( Can't use 'em... But a nice sub for mine! ^_^
Moordryd Paynn poor boy
Daddy is a harsh hard man
Persevere young man

Drago-slugs help plants,
Slimy and spiky they be,
They are just plain gross.
MaiBeyblader - November 27, 2007 02:46 PM (GMT)
Kitt Wonn racer girl
Reduced to head cheerleader
Kick Artha's sorry--
Er, nevermind. :plot:
Lance Penn son of a
Man who let his own son think
His father was dead

Coming for you and hormones
Are around the bend
Parmon Sean cheese you
Be oh genius one who makes
Our heads hurt a lot
Power, Fire, Gold
Three Boosters from long long ago
Rise, risen again
Ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha HA!
Again, you see too many/too few syllables, let me know and I'll try to fix 'em. :mellow:
