Enter RhymeZone! A great page that’ll help you look out for those definitions, synonims or antonyms, or … just look up a quotation.
As a challenge, (you can post anonymously if you don’t have a blogger account), I’d like it if you (the common by-reader) would take a moment of your time and write a small haiku or a poem using this new tool. I’ll later add mine to the comments list (gotta leave soon).
Far away I’ll leave
delaying this won’t suffice
I’m gonna eat rice.
LMAO. That’s a cheap one there. Okay, now I’m gonna arrive late! Goodbye!
Update (8:00 p.m.): Ok, now I’m back. I’ve been asking for current bloggers to come around and try to post a haiku over here. So, as of … right now… this post has officially become
THE HAIKU CHALLENGE POST!!!
So, I should better come up with some rules.
Rules
- Post a Haiku (it’d be better if you posted with a blogger account, or left a signature or your webpage).
- Be original. You can post in english, spanish, or whatever language. Preferrably english (since this is the official language for this blog).
- Obscenity, humor or 1337 skillz will give you points. Clean or well made haikus will give you double points.
- Post Haikus… which are made up of three ‘metrical units’ (lines) of 5, 7, and 5 syllables. If you can’t post a haiku, post a small poem,… that RHYMES!.
- You can’t post if you don’t know what a syllable is… (you dumbass).
Well, I guess that pretty much covers up the rules. If you don’t know what a haiku is, it’s a “a 17-syllable verse form consisting of three metrical units of 5, 7, and 5 syllables”. If you don’t know what a syllable is, then you are ruled out (see rule #5).

Hi, Rich Lassiter
A fair entry was posted
50 points granted
Enter dm3
He writes better than Shakespeare
He has great 1337 skills
He carries the lead
And is winning as of now
A million points up
You are too funny
I try to be but I’m not
so gimme money
Georgia didn’t win
Got the crap kicked out of them
And that is a sin
RG isn’t a twit
But at times he is a shit
Please don’t pitch a fit
I am sitting here
Wanting cigarettes and beer
And a mind unclear
The challenge was made
A good one, lots of thinking
Too bad it’s time for drinking
(Yes, I know it’s got too many syllables, but I don’t care)
oh, help, I DID fucked up my template, shit shit. I’m looking for a solution.. :s
Look here now, bitches,
I haiku like a mofo
pack up your keyboards.
Just sit right back and
Enjoy this ride, ’cause I will
Roxor your pants off.
Think dm3 pwned?
Don’t call it a come back, I
have been here for years.
I was L337 before
L337-speak was coined–the days of
Elite BBSs.
My modem granted
access to the pirate boards
Before Doom was out!
But now my main game
Is whatever I have time
to play on Xbox.
Star Wars Battlefronts
Is the game of the moment.
(Kill all the Gungans!)
But it’s time is short,
Because on November 9th
Halo 2 comes out!
Post a Haiku here?
For all of the world to see…
I’m not a poet.
Does the old favorite “There once was a man from Nantucket….” count for points?
~
rdturpin’s drunk
too bad for him he cheated
his points depleted
kat wants my money
Now I’ll give her some dollars
After we make out!
Rich is playing rough
My pants are now all roxor’d
My time has now come
Kelwhy is shameful
She could’ve shown some leet skills
60 points granted
Rich’s fury and rage
Have now totaled his points to
a million and one
But now I shall say
The true winner for today
Who is it, you say?
Unwanted surprise
To all it shall be revealed
I show a big grin
rolandog has won
To everyone’s great dismay
the contest was rigged.
Laughing and rolling
In the floor I am yelling
I have PWN3D you all.
Just kidding I say
You let a sigh of relief
You said “That’s so gay”
We all had some fun
Excercising the gray cells
I am very pleased.
Fire Res Q Guru
Posted before I read him
So sorry I am
To respond his plead

(obviously) “Hell yes”.
I welcome haikus
But preferr originals
If you must, do so.
