Well, those aren't haiku and "rouge" is a type of cosmetic.
folks freak out over nothing
4e is the same.
One side says it's all okay
The other's not sure
ps this is supposed to be lighthearted
Actually, Commissar, those are a series of haiku in the "5-7-5" format of syllables, except for the second-to-last one. The comment on rouge is correct, and it is the second-most misspelled word on these forums, just behind "definitely" and just ahead of "tiefling."
My point is that simply counting syllables doesn't make a haiku. A haiku is a specific literary form and those don't match the structure and subject matter. For example, all haiku reference (directly or indirectly) a season.
Haiku aren't the end-all, be-all of poetic literature (I actually prefer Heian period poetry myself), but it's sad to see such an august literary form reduced to a mere counting of syllables. "5-7-5" might be a poem, but in and of itself it does not constitute a haiku. There's way more to it than that.

im referencing the new 'season' of encounters. are you the haiku police? *sirens ring*
That happened without any rushin'
to blame or conclusions,
no fightin' or feudin',
Too bad that there forum weren't this 'un.
...I know there's far more to haiku than that. It's usually an expression of the beauty of nature or other ideas. However, I also have appreciation for humor and the use of art in expressing it, or using an art form to make a point. Besides after reading a haiku by Jared Hindman, I find that I enjoy haiku humor:
A killer snowman
Why did I rent this movie?
Someone stab my head
You come off as a really austere poster, Commissar, but did you really have to come in and tell us that it's not haiku because it's not in the classical art form? There's so many better things that you could be doing with your time, man...
It belongs in O-T-T

what is "essentials"
let me start another thread
this should clear things up
wizards has the gall
to try and sell me new stuff
**** this, off to paizo
You cannot handle changes,
Get over it now.
Nerfs all of the rest
make it seem better than best
Bowing to yesteryears grogs
they imbalance it
splinter and break the games cogs
Unceremoniously
Sweet Class equity
tossed into times wailing winds
Wizards bow before their sins
leave Warlords behind
to rip a hole in my mind.
They revived sacred cattle
just recently dead.
some should be shot in the head.
Melee trained but very weak
Avengers we need
to attack with greater speed.
I find hit it with my sword
leaves many quite bored
underwhelmed by the classes
There are answers we all seek
in thread after thread
while expressing deepest dread
we need to see you
anti-anti just wont do.
