And Gygax said "LET THERE BE DROW"

[Draconis Imperium]

What's the syllable rules for haiku?

I want drow Haiku.

And limericks.

WotC should put those on their drow page.

I do believe a haiku is 5 7 5


I do believe in
a drow who is never seen
is but a drow cow


A spider drow can
spin a web unseen by all
stuck he is in it


There was once a Drow from Nantucket...........

Sorry long day at work with little sleep

 

[Henry]

They run with the dark
Velvet skin on pitch black path
with blades they do cut

 

[Henry]

Wizards summon them
the dark ones now heed the call
The Drow shall emerge

With blades of fey steel
the evil ones shall have reign
to seize night and day

Before us they come
to spread the spider queen's kiss
we shall serve or die.

 

[Desdichado]

Yes, but the "pure" haiku form has to have some kind of seasonal reference. It can be subtle, though.

Drow eyes shining bright
Long, soft hair like drifted snow
Sifting my spilled guts

 

[Voadam]

Rejected by light
They now rule from the darkness
Fear the evil drow

 

[Voadam]

seasonal haiku

Seasons are long lost
In the sunless underdark realm
Home to fallen elves

 

[Voadam]

Fallen from her grace
The test was too tortuous
Now I have eight legs

 

[Voadam]

Springing from darkness
A graze is enough for slumber
More slaves for the pen
