Post your Dom3 Haiku

[Omnirizon]

wow i like that one, moderation.

almost a perfect haiku too, 5-7-5ish; and the syllabuls don't matter much, given the loose relevance of them in translation from japanese to english formats. the important thing is beat, which that one captures fine.

and the substance, so wonderful. i can totally relate. i guess... if i imagine myself a wizard (graduate student) pouring over a grimour, late at night, (stacks of books and countless PDF's of articles), looking for the perfect spell (theory, or argument, or way to frame a concept). and it just suddenly _appears_ (that moment of clarity, or is it a delusion? who cares, it feels like a spell appearing).

personal meaning or not, its a good haiku capturing a classic image.

Thanks Omnirizon. This one happened happened by accident as much as anything. The fact that it was rather late and I was being bad by staying up hunting for strategy tips probably had something to do with it. The original version was a bit different, but I tweaked and poked at it till it sounded better.

By the way, I liked your haiku "endless slaughter/intrigue and treachery/
is fun for pixels" for it's amused detachment. The other humorous ones that people have posted are also very entertaining. Well I'll get back to grimore now. Here's to mage butter and elephant neighbors!
