The Transformers Haiku thread!

[GoktimusPrime]

For Sky Byte

Post yer Transformers haikus and senryus here!

Okay, so the "rule" is pretty simple.
1. It has to follow the 5-7-5 syllable structure (or as close as you can get within reason ;))
2. It has to be about Transformers. :)

GO!

just needs one more syllable on the first line, but considering how gok added in "as close as you can get..." I am sure it's fine ;)

Here's another one.

Prime and Megatron
Different Paths towards peace.
Eternal Struggle

Tyrannosaurus
The purple faced dictator
All Hail Megatron!



"Tyrannosaurus" is a reference to nature, so that makes this a proper Haiku! :D Withuot a nature reference a 5-7-5 syllable poem is just a Senryu... this was also a running joke with Gelshark in Car Robot -- he claimed to be proficient in reciting Haiku, but he was often just reciting Senryu -- and Fire Convoy pointed this out to him the first time he did this (he said something like, "That's not a haiku, that's a senryu... and not a very good one at that"), which of course made Gelshark mad. :p ;) Not sure if this ever got translated over in the RiD dubbing... ??

Most of my other haikus have nature references too (e.g. "distant star," "faeces" :p) the only one that I've written so far that's really a senryu is the one about articulation. :) No need for anyone to get fussed over it... if anything, getting haikus and senryus confused just fits in with the spirit of this thread being devoted to Sky-Byte/Gelshark anyway!! :D :cool: As long as everyone's making an attempt to keep it within 5-7-5 (or therebouts) and relating it to Transformers, then it's all good.
