That's right.

You have to write me a haiku that is on the topic of Minecraft.

Thanks for reading.
Good luck to all.

And for those that don't know:
"A haiku is a non-rhymed verse genre.There are 5 syllables in the first
sentence, 7 in the second and 5 again in the last sentence."

3, for fun. (:

Red in the darkness
Hungry eyes, staring at me
Watching and waiting

Little fluffy sheep
Splashing around in the sea
Don't drown, little sheep

I overshot it
Smashed one square too many
Here comes the lava

(For fun, already have the Alpha)

Edit: I quite like Bluewood's second one.

Curse the forum space, yea. Thread is now about creepers.

---
Dig your earthen tomb,
life is worth the gems you hone,
sun sets, work alone.
                               
Blind in the darkness,
blind in greed, and in good sense,
Creeper,  -BOOM-, leaves mess.
              
Now, mind you, this is two Haiku stanzas, one story. I think it works out in the end.

It depends on whether I would be testing for grammatical know-how, or if I'm interested in the underlying story.

Here, I care about the message and not the way the message is presented. I specified "haiku" because I like the short-long-short style, but that doesn't mean I'm DQing anything else, as long as it's close.

Minecraft's oceans pulse with foam waves.

Sand crawls up the shore.

Howling wind against feather.
Slice their target's flesh.

The crazed beasts practice their grunts

Killing melodies

He's the best fighter

Unparalleled lightsaber

Wars not make one great

Impossible task

Do or don't there is no try

I don't believe you

Perilous mission

Dark Side covers everything

Kick Count Dooku's ass

Too old to begin

training of young Skywalker

But teach him, I must.

Not our only hope

There's another Skywalker

A sister there is.

My size matters not

The Force: Powerful ally

Strong Jedi am I.

Judge me by my size?

Luminous beings are we

Not this crude matter

Levitate I can

any object I wish

Even an X-Wing

Talk backwards I do
