PVK2 Haikus
ParaSwarm
PVKII Team, Applicant
Let's see what you got!
Let's see some creativity with PVK2 Haikus! I'll start:I race to my foe
He is pushing up daisies
Noob arrow, my back
Comments
Damn you
Now it's in fellow vikings head
You run to the pork and heal
F*cking pirates
You shoot I have hurt
You are NO MAN!
He is a jerk
None of this is true
I wish it were
5

The only one who's done it in that format was ParaSwarm...
(unless I'm mistaken and Haikus can be written in different ways)

paraswarms isnt 5, 7, 5 either at least im asumibng the number represent the amount of words
cause he has
5
5
4
three parties try to hold it
though knights win anyway
@ducksauce: 5,7,5 refers to the number of syllables
I have an aristocratic smile and like to punch people
cause he has
5

He has 5.
It's syllables.
enemies fall, steel clashes
feint... BERSERKER RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!
Our ping has cause us defeat
Two to twenty one
@Ducksauce: A syllable is a part of a word, for example, in paraswarm's hiaku (You may need to say this out loud)
I-race-to-my-foe
He-is-push-ing-up-dais-ies
Noob-ar-row-my-back
So hi is one syllable (hi)
Iron is two (I-ron)
Develop is three (De-vel-op)
and Impossible is four (Im-pos-si-ble)
It's hard to describe the concept of syllables
About to land in the tower
As the Knights despair
Yes, the meter/metre is correct. =D
I actually did a couple Haikus in class a while back.

Isn't that 6-8-5
Skir-mish-er's-keg-fly-ing
A-bout-to-land-in-the-tow-er
As-the-knight's-despair
And wouldn't it be "knights" and not "knight's
Wouldn't it be:
Skirm'sher's keg flying
'Bout to land in the tower
As the knights despair
Skir-mish-er's-keg-fly-ing
A-bout-to-land-in-the-tow-er
As-the-knight's-despair
And wouldn't it be "knights" and not "knight's
Wouldn't it be:
Skirm'sher's keg flying
'Bout to land in the tower

Ok, you're right with the "Knights" thing. But my metric is correct. You only count the syllables until the last stressed syllable. In the case of "Flying" the last stressed syllabe is "fly", so Ing doesn't count.
When it comes to tower, it's the same thing. "Tow" is the last stressed syllable. So it's
Skir-mi-sher's-keg-fly/ing - 5
A-bout-to-land-in-the-tow/er - 7
As-the-knights-des-pair - 5
I knew someone would complain! XD
soon I'll have revenge
I'll have my own haiku's with my own rules
off with u evil beings
That's what I thought, but when I submited one at school that i did like that, it got points taken off
...Maybe that teacher was just an idiot...
You run to the pork and heal
F*cking pirates
I lawled
You scream loud in agony
I win. You FAIL.
Berzerker on me
Run for your forsaken life

Haha. I like.
Syllables: dog = 1 syllable
doggy = 2 syllables (dog + gy)
eat/drink/and/be/for/we/all/die = 1 syllable each
merr-y = 2 syllables
to-mor-row = 3 syllables
it's the number of "beats" a word has
Wait, you didn't know this?
supercalifragilisticexpialidocious = 14 syllables
gilisticexpiali
docious." Said Mary
pvk hurray,
i start and join a game,
skirmishers are lame.
Vikings
I use my shield rush
Ragnarok is upon you
I fall in hole. Fuck.
Pirates
I go to toss keg
Its blocked by a knight damn, and
Explodes in arms. Ouch
Knights
I shoot my arrow
Flying straight and true, it hits
A knight in the face
Didn't know if charge was one or two syllables, so I used rush instead
Sweet Jesus on a stick! Syllables are a verbal thing. "Charge" is one syllable, "CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGE!" is one syllable; "Charged" is one syllable, unless you're trying to talk Shakespearean and saying charge-ed (as in Mr Ed); "Charging" has two syllables: Char-ging. Syllable has three: "Sill-a-bull"
Please tell me if you still don't understand.

Explain Syllables
I just wasn't sure if it was 2 syllables (char-ge), or one.
g+e = soft g in much the same way c+e/i = soft c in English/French/Spanish (not sure about German)
I major in linguistics, this shit runs in my veins.
