I would love just one clue
about what I need to do
Two hundred g's,
all aiming to please;
I think my fort's about through.

It has just begun
My own army of legends
With axes and spears
This beast may be forgotten,
but his defeat? Eternal.

Haikus are not bad,
but let's bring poetic class
into this whole mix

I like this idea
It is so sweet it gives me diarrhea
Even though haiku is sweet
It is not hard to beat
With a single hit
It falls down the pit

There was once a dwarf
Who killed and killed more
Beaten by a boar

Delves just a little deeper
Hell's gate swings ajar

Magma all around
Inevitability

Haikus have some rules
Five and then seven then five
Syllables each line

You want other poems?
We should make a new topic
Or bear the /facepalms

The life of a dwarf
Is full of tests and trials
Magma solves them all

Zombies are a plague
That grows the more you fight them
Use only blunt weapons

Dragons are fearsome
Dangerous even when tame
"Friendly fire" ain't.

Dwarves don't use their eyes
They navigate with their beards
Probing the dark caves

Merchants bring great wealth
But beware of wooden goods
Death to all the elves

I like to think that on the other side of the world a human is walking on the beach, notices the water level suddenly drop twenty feet, and whispers "fucking dwarves."

"The cows seem to lose bowel control when launched... I consider this a feature."

Urist writes Haiku
He engraves them in the floor
But they have 2 extra syllables

Most dwarves can not read
They simply like engravings
Because they look nice

Dwarf literature
A book about gruesome death
And pictures of cheese

As night is falling
After thinking long and hard
I just post to watch.

I'm going to do the smart thing here and disengage. This isn't a hill I paticularly care to die on.

There once was a dwarf
His name was Urist McBro
He died from blood loss.

Hey I'm a Dwarf and
I'm digging a hole, diggy
diggy hole, diggy

Why did you bring that up
That Honeydew from the Yogscast drinks Jaffa's with a cup
You are a horrible person
I'm eating a raw morsel
Haiku is rocket science
I'm just going to sit in silence
The Yogscast remains
Tragically unfunny, and
Jaffa Cakes don't dissolve

One necromancer
Thirteen unruly zombies
Fortress has crumbled

Eerie glowing pit
Dwarves in everlasting pain
Bless't be the miners

Start the magma pumps
I'm sure the whole stack is sealed
No need to make sure...
