The Snowflake does not fall. It has denied gravity its right to rule. The icy beauty, with wind assist, climbs from under the birthing cloud, still humble, yet an inner growing pride, not yet proud, is raised to higher and higher heights, to the moon filled sky, serene lovely sky, alone it the wintery night. Pondering as snowflakes often do, the point of existance, deciding what belief is true, what to dream?
Down comes a dropship.
Snowflake, thoughtful Snowflake, icy beautiful Snowflake, is then vaporised to steam....

So Plodder, are my previous attempts wrong? I've seen so many versions of Haiku that it is confusing.

I could not say it is wrong, or I could, but I might be wrong about it.
Not that anyone would care or give a wit about it.

Apparently 5 7 5 is just one version since Japanese is less of a constricting language than English. Ive read that many prefer to use fewer syllables in English because the 5 7 5 style can convey too much information and cuts out some of the style. 3 5 3 is the style I learned apparently

This came to me after my team died and I got caught in the Urban part of River City by myself in my Centurion.

silent air
anticipating
coming chaos

dance, aim, fire,
evade, run, twist, aim,
shake, dodge...

speed eludes
quickness never enough
pounded often.

armor fails
concentrated light
slips through

critical!
shattered engine!
ejecting!

silent air
floating under 'chute
still alive.

THE RETIRED MECHWARRIOR IN A TIME OF PEACE

Listless the Veteran held his cup, weakness holding him in a loveless embrace, pathetic and uncaring. Forgotten were the deeds done with valor, his accomplihments unknown now, when in their time, were great works in desperate times.

Forgotten, uncared for, reaching for in drink, for what the world refused to give.

Finding not, yet settling for what the drink would not stint.

The survivor's blessing and bane.

Would it be so strange, would it be so hard, for those around to ask?

Could they see that what is in me, desires to ....

Keep! Can I get another here? Thanks man...

[Grand Ayatollah Kerensky]

I wrote this letter especially for you
To prove that my love for you is true
Never shallI kiss someone else's lips
Never will we make any boring trips
Kerensky Kerensky Kerensky, you are unbelievably beautiful
When I am near you my heart goes like a raging bull
Words cannot express
What I felt when you said 'yes'
Kerensky Kerensky Kerensky, you mean so much to me
I never knew this could be
You are my sweetheart day by day
I hope you will never go away
This gift is for you, I hope you will like it
I am dying to see your reaction, that I will admit
This poem has come to an end
There are many more I would like to send

Ode to a PPC

like a lumbering giant to their cap
destroy inner sphere to imbibe nice summer
burned remains of an atlas wanes
my love is bland flowing

love me if you are

somebody a clanner
lovely of you.

[TheFlyingScotsman]

My centurion
Her hands are death and defense
Her heart is XL

Ode to a splat cat.

You hover and dance
You spam and prance
Your feet narry touch the land
You follow my 'mech
To make it a wreck
Until I blow off your hands

Small Lasers are Red,

Knock Down, Knock Down, wherefore art thou?
Whence did thou leavest mine realm, to deprivest thy physical realities?
Truly, mine world is not the land it once was, nor could be, for thine presence pairs ones deadly dares, entwined tightly shared realities of yon physicalities I now yearn for, not yet, nor could be, forgotten.
Truest spoken I do misseth the light thou brought to mine feet to basque in pleasurable attentions.
Knock Down, Knock, Down, wherefore art thow?

For the times that are gone, what was our battles before, but bullies and braggards on a school house yard? Now it is 3050, a turning point, you'll see.

What happened out on the outpost, deep in the periphery?
What will happen soon? You will turn your braggards tongue to other tasks than defaming the neighbor, the intruders in your yard, or just howling at the moon.

You have no knowledge of them, soon whispers will be shared, not yet feared, but that all will change, thoughts/actions rearranged, to the point, that the weaker may go deranged, to their true causes go estranged. Do not sell out, do not turn that page!

It is 3050 now, are we ready?
Back breaker Clan tech.
What and when shall we see?
The time is not now, but it's closeness is.
The time pool is flowing, and we are in it's eddy..

I know this isn't poetry parse as it's haiku, but to quote Yorinaga Kurita:

Yellow bird I see

Gray dragon hides wisely

Honor is duty.

Pilot climbed into cockpit and said
That is one awesome madcat
He bought 3 gauses and purchesed some camo
If only he loaded some ammo
His teammates still won , It was easy
He put on the radio and listened to AC/DC

The Atlas laid waste to 2 spiders

Hee Hee for one, then, Hee Hee for the tother.

Troll

Damage dealt drops, more and plenty, sweet Mechs destroyed,others so pointless, so wanting.

Troll

Average shot, plodder is,takes his pleasures simply, with a side of fries.

Crunch goes the Spiders, so tasty, so satisfying with a side of fries.

pay the Toll

Atlas, the rest are just a change of pace filler .
