"Won't be D&D."
Maybe they can see futures?
Or they're oracles?

Everyone said this
before the big 3e launch.
I'd say they were wrong.

History suggests
that you can't tell 'til you play
despite loud complaints.

I guess we will see
how many folks went and switched
Two years down the road.

What, cynical? Me?
No! I'll play the best version.
I'll play D&D.

And it even rhymes (at the end)!

As summer arrives
Three books bring love and anger
The dungeon changes

Nice.

People, there's more to haiku than just shoehorning a regular sentence into the 5-7-5 format! Get some enlightenment and try again: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku

electronic ponds
where tadpoles named history
are swallowed by cats.

swimming in bellies
millennium word ghosts
fight off revision.

what everyone said,
pirates may not remember
what covers the page?

second edition
had overstayed its welcome
and 3e was cheered.

the dawn of 4e
brings great rules improvements, but
poops on tradition.

removing half-orcs
and re-naming the demons:
2e comes to mind.

this sentence is shoved
into a haiku jacket
neener neener (nee)!

Beyond translation,
Art flows in borrowed constraints.
It's autumn. Bite me.

I enjoy trying to capture the spirit of haiku beyond the structure, but this really made me laugh.

Lessons Learned
From third edition
Stealth errata was the worst
Please, never again

The Grognard
I cannot support
Any edition that has
Nine eyed beholders

Toeing the Forum Line
Thousand points of light
Not prudent at this juncture
Not gonna do it

Plagarized Haiku from a T-shirt
Haikus can be fun
But sometimes they don't make sense
Refrigerator

Rain: drip drip drip drip
drip. Drip-drip. Drip? Drip drip drip!
Drip drip, drip drip.... drip
