**THE POIGNANCY OF DEFEAT***

Some Haiku about Spacefed

Inspired by VeggieTales

(A haiku is a poem of three lines, 5 syllables, then 7, then 5. I thought these up while stacking wood yesterday to keep my mind busy. I hope you agree with me that they accurately depict the experience of playing GC. --Cynth)

Manage Colonies:
Oh, no! Where are my planets?
I`ve been pwned again.

My stacks were strong, but
A newbie put my Thors on top.
Yes! Borrelly spam!

Click "Attack," then "Browse."
Many planets, low PR...
Wait! He`s Guardian!

Nirvanas are strong,
But Queens make them run and hide.
Oh, well--Swords work fine.

Pwned like a newbie
However, counterattack
Will wipe his fleet.

Not-smart, worthless newbie,
Feel my wrath! But wait. what`s this?
DP strikes again!

In forty-eight hours,
We will all lose everything.
Does anyone care?

...And finally, for everyone who was here last year:

The feature you love
Has been temporarily
Suspended. For good.

Have a great summer, everyone!

seven syllables
with four above and below.
that is a haiku.

I`m going to use that whenever anyone asks me what a haiku is!

My friend used to tell me that every haiku ended with the same line, so here is my effort to conform to his advice:

No goods on Ultra
My income is suffering
Under the pear tree.

Deiloche just pwned us
Like Rubber did before him
Under the pear tree.

And finally,

Blackhole`s a great fed,
We are led by Streetrac too,
Under the pear tree.

My friend`s suggestion was really lousy.

Thanks Thunder. ;)

Fodderman, do you mean "rhyme" or "rhythm?" Haiku have neither, whether in Japanese or English. It`s a different kind of poem. Each three lines are a separate poem. You see, it`s the mood that counts.
