Chummer, Yer fragged.
Mana flows on astral plane
Gimme the nuyen.


When I was big into Quake, we used to write Quake Haiku. Thought it
might be fun to start this ball rolling with an easy one. Anyone else
care to try your hand at some SR poetry?

Xian.

Run for the nuyen
Until you wager too much
Die for the nuyen

Corporations rule
Runners fight at giants will
Rats in the Shadows

God in the machine
Freedom form the metal cage
Matrix you are mine

Pawn for scaled hands
Never deal with a Dragon
For he'll never lose

Freeze, police, hands up
The Star has you now chummer
No SIN, no justice

Metal in my flesh
Pushing it over the edge
No longer human

My character was slotting a Mandarin Chinese chip on the gargoyle hunting
mission and used his Creative Writing skill to make a haiku to boost the
PhysAds morale:

Mountaintop soared
Giants fell before new gods
Iron caged stone

Maybe re-write that one a little?

Corporations rule
Runners fighting giants will
Rot in the Shadows

Maybe, if it wasn't for the fact that runners mere existance is at the Whims
of the corporations. If the corps all of a sudden decided to play nice then
every runner would be out of a job.

Corporations rule
Runners live at giants whim
Life in the shadows

Bryan,

Haha! Nice ones!

These two are my faves! I especially like the near Zen quality of the last
one! I always like trying to make obscurish middle lines to give them near
incomprhensible nipponese like qualities!

BEst wishes,

Xian.

Hmmm....

Lore in short I seek
Wisdom hides in obtuse words
Haiku teach me now

The power is mine
Guns are blazing, streaming lead
*klick*klick*klick* uh-oh...

I used to be fast
Now snails move faster than me
A curse on SOTA

Am a metal man
Zap me twice and I go down
Lightening bolts suck

Sota is my life
Stay fast, stay lethal, stay bad
How long can I run?
