Oath Haiku (and other poetic forms)

[Zirsta]

Ok, I'll try, although I'm better at essays than poetry...

In Life's name and sake
I will use the Art for Life
Till universe ends

Hmm. Not bad for a 5 min. thing...

EDIT: I've come up with another. Here we go...

When the One doth tempt
A species with his dark gift
Wizards come with light

[Kathy Li]

Ah, vBulletin
Learning to admin fast fast
I have a headache

Now, I have no time
To get my EEE to boot in
Intrepid Ibex

[Garrett Fitzgerald]

Now, I have no time
To get my EEE to boot in
Intrepid Ibex

I must say, it seems
smoother to administer
than Groupee has been.

(and to get this thread back on topic)

My paw will defend:
The Serpent will not prevail.
Now and forever.

[alla]

This new home is nice
hopefully it will be as
fun as the old one

Will it encourage
old members to come back home?
What do you guys think?

Ok, something more on topic. I know acrostics are slightly primary-school, but I like them:

To protect life
Hold out against entropy
Ever tested against the Lone Power

Only in a willing heart
And a willing mind
The wizardry exists
Help life win out

~~
This one is dedicated to Dairine

Wanting to know things
Inquisitive beyond the point of no return
Zero tolerance of bullies
Always looking out for her sister
Realising her sister knew something she didn't
Discovering the oath and its magic.
Roshaun.
Yearning.

Hmm... I should think about doing/finishing off one of the YW Christmas Carols.

Tiny now boots up
With Ubuntu however
There is no network

Triple booting dreams
Must be shelved for just a bit
While I port the faqs

----

Swore that I wouldn't
Try to fix things that aren't
Broke. Working stuff stays.

I am the one who
Volunteers to parlay with
Dragons about maids

I guard life in its
awesome diversity. I
call myself wizard.

[Tuttle]

A Wind from the South
My palm pilot cannot read
It irritates me.

I read most before
but 'tis hard to read on screen
and read on palm now

[Kathy Li]

Stanza, iPodTouch
This is how I read ebooks.
Better than a Palm.

I've learned how to mount
Partitions in Ubuntu
What a royal pain.

Too many toys
Can be bad for you, you know.
OS conflation

Hurts my tiny head
My brain is too slow and old
For all this learning

[Garrett Fitzgerald]

I am very glad
That Kathy has two years more.
Elsewise, I'd be [censored].

And, an Oath Fib:

Life.
Art,
To use
only to
defend if I must,
for its name, as well as its sake.
Guard growth, ease pain, and preserve what lives well as itself.
Put fear aside for courage, and death aside for life, when such is right to gain these ends.

[alla]

I'm going to have to wander wiki for the different poetry forms. That one looks fun Garrett

~~
.
Guard
Life.
Defend
Against the
Pain. Revel in the
Wonders of our Universe. Fight
against the darkness until the end. Parry the Lone
Power's minions; riposte to change the universe. There's always Timeheart, where what is loved, lives...

[Kathy Li]

one
line
posts are
driving me
just a little nuts.
Please try and remember to stay
on topic and talking about young wizards, ok?

[Septimus]

Mysterious ways
Aarticulate forms
Great forms of life
In its name i state that i will
Cause nothing but life to be.

i guess it wasn't really a poem but it was all i had on short notice.

[Kathy Li]

Just got a new phone
Because I must learn texting
But geez texts are short

So my thumbs tap in
Haikus. Yes, I am texting
My friends in haiku.

One hundred sixty
Characters is just right
For five seven five

Or maybe I'm nuts.
Anybody else do this?
Or am I alone?

[Lazy Leopard]

I think at present
texting in haiku remains
your domain alone

[Garrett Fitzgerald]

Yea, and verily,
To do such a thing as that
Is quite Rev. Mom-ish.

[Kathy Li]

Ah, well, perhaps I
Shall start a trend for texting
in 5-7-5.

BTW, I am
Sitting by Door C at the
start of Comic-Con.

Free wifi is here
To launch a thousand blogs
For ev'ry panel.

If anyone else
Is here, too, come find me, eh?
Blue t-shirt, glasses.
