Kingdom Age Haiku Wednesday (trying this out)

[thesyllable (er)]

One thing that I like is Haiku....so I'll try having Haiku Wednesdays for each game's forum.

The best Haiku (contemporary 5-7-5 syllable style) wins 100 gems. Winners are selected by me (right before the next week's Haiku) and are heavily influenced by forum feedback...keep in mind I like the funny and the creative.

I'll start it off easy:

Kingdom Age, Rage! Rage!
Dragons, Monsters, fight them all
Battle others now!

Good luck!

-er

EDIT: Any scores I give are rough/tentative scores and do not determine the winner (but higher scores will usually win)

[John Snow]

BD Ten Dragons.
Way too much unvaulted cash.
Please don't attack me!

[The_Red]

one hundred gold prize
is not worth nearly as much
when incomes are high


(my attempted play on the gold/gem typo when many people have >5000 gold per hour income rates.)

[John Snow]

Cool haiku contest.
But one hundred gems would be
a much better prize!

[Chups]

Terrorizing Towns;
Attack with Beast and Machines!
That is Kingdom Age..

Not sure this one is 5/7/5, seems more like 5/8/5, but I like it because he doesnt even care that he requested gold instead of gems, and I can sympathize with him in regards to girls hating on this game because we play it! Seewhatyoudidthere(er)?

[Jhoemel]

Killing, raid kingdoms
Ransacking rival's kingdoms
Kingdom Age's freedom

[Funkey monkey]

I built a Brothel.
Where is my High Priest staying?

Unless if I'm reading it wrong, he went from curse-es to curse to cut out a syllable. But I'll cut you some slack since your mind is probably drained after all those haikus you've written lol.

I was reading some of my allies' comment walls and noticed they mentioned your Haiku. I think this one is great. I have a hard enough time with my wife explaining why I'm writing poetry for a game much less writing about some of the most powerful KA ladies.

[thesyllable (er)]

Kingdom Age Players are very good poets...I gotta give you all credit.

If you don't have your Alliance Code in your sig please PM me so I can give you said prizes....
