I'll give you that.
But, some think that this pattern
makes their writing good.

I got line crossing checks to work! For real this time! The code is lousy, but vaguely functional. And the script generator made something decent, although that's sheer luck. I'm only posting the one thing because the other 19 that came out of that test run were garbage, as I expected them to be, and you can't actually see the effect of the line cross checkings unless I set it to an extreme value.

The pattern isn't good.
For the sake of "good", at least.
It's mental challenge.

Rather, should I say,
It's a mental exercise.
A test of the mind.

However, I'd like to step in and note that these aren't haiku, technically, seeing as absolutely none of them have seasonal words >________>

Well, it's a technicality that most people tend to be ok with ignoring.

But really, I think that I got into poetry the most when I learned to write in Dwarven.
Man, that stuff looks cool as runes.

I should load up Paint or something and start writing in it to show you guys.

Are we discussing haiku? I made some recently for Yearbook class.

Spoiler: Haiku + Advertising = mediocre poetry (click to show/hide)

In the bright blue sky
A hawk flies over the sea
Go buy a yearbook.

A yearbook is grand
Like the majestic lion.
You need to buy one.

This book will contain
A full school year in its pages
It is a yearbook.

Yearbooks are on sale
Just go to the main office
Bring forty dollars.

Not very good, I know. Writing yearbook advertisements into haiku is a bit of a pain.

However, I'd like to step in and note that these aren't haiku, technically, seeing as absolutely none of them have seasonal words >________>

Huh, that is quite odd.
It needs a seasonal word?
I did not know that.

[mastahcheese]

if you want to get technical, then yes, they do need that.

[tahujdt]

I'd like to see that.
Dwarven runes are always cool.
Please begin post-haste.

:v

Bay12 gets poetic
Haikus rise like spring flowers
to fall, autumn leaves.

[mastahcheese]

Loading up Paint now.
Rune-smithing, I shall provide.
Season, you stickler.

[Mech#4]

Spring blooms, traders come.
Nothing but pig tail and cloth.
Goddamned bloody elves.

[tahujdt]

If I do try in feet - iambs - to write
does it seem forced, my readers put to flight?

[hops]

Screw you all I'm going to just go learn sonnets >:C

[Flying Dice]

Springtime visitors
Cross rivers on dainty feet,
Prepare the lever.
