X-Wing Haiku Thread

By wurms, in X-Wing

T-65 X Wings

Sometimes they soar

Mostly they blow up

Unguided Rockets

Worse than existing options

Hype without reason

I have a fun list.

Sorry only meta lists here.

I will get my coat.

Flying Rexler Brath

I push three cards into Thane

Spend focus, dead ARC

(Edit: they were all direct hits)

An Empire at need

Lens flare reflects off five wings

Rho Squadron arrives

I read it and thought, "I don't get it." Then, after moving to page 2 I thought, "5 wings? What ship is that? Rho squad -- Ohhhhh. Rho Squadron. Got it. This is a Gunboat haiku." Very nicely done, I must say.

I love Corran Horn

With R2, he is the best

Why anyone else?

T-65 X Wings

Sometimes they soar

Mostly they blow up

Your Haiku's wonky,
Of syllables you must make:
Five, seven and five.

Trust in the empire
with palpatine our leader
we will roll all crits

Struggle with Hoth list

I decide to start over

With two days to go

Done being stressed

I will just fly casual

At premier events

Edited by Droidlover

Carnor strikes debris

Plasma spins and he glitters

Red metal globules

TIEs shriek in torrent

Furball in a tumbling maze

Blazing panels shear

Executor falls

Dagger thrust in dying sun

Fighters flee, keening

Baron jousts Countess

Chivalry in starry fields

Red Star is falling

S-foils in crosshairs

Interceptor cannons hiss

Blood stripes its panels

Thermal exhaust port

It's only two metres wide

Like shooting womp rats

Grey trench walls streak by

The cannons have stopped firing

TIE fighters on tail

Vader tightens knobs

The Force is strong with this one

Falcon in the sun

Torpedoes away

That was one in a million

Shimmering pieces

She won't have a scratch

Bowels of the great machine

Rectangular dish

Edited by TheHumanHydra

Only one crit through!

Oh, look, its a direct hit...

How many are there?

The Resistance quails

"It is another Death Star!"

Lazy plot device

Just flying fun lists
Some days I lose faster than
Unpacking my squad

Once again, I fly

A list of T-65s.

I must hate myself.

Little plastic ships,

I make "pew pew" sounds with them,

serious business.

Autothrusters suck

What's this? Twin Laser Turrets?

*Heart* Autothrusters

Three-bank wins the game

Will miss rock and get a shot

Flips dial, "two-bank" :(

Barrel roll and boost

Stress and a focus token

Soontir is my name

Focus and evade

Not now or ever, my friend

Carnor says "Hello"

Ello Ello the

fearless and reckless flyer

Talon rolls are nowt

I roll three red dice

With Focus and Target Lock.

Triple blanks, both times.

find new podcast

oh look, it's the howards'

I'm the captain now

The R3-A2
Will deliver stress to me
And soon I will die.

He rolled all arrows,
the red dice just brushed away.
Ugh, f###ing dice game.

New wave out

Haven't flown them yet

Still need nerfs

I don't think you understand what a haiku is...

It's 5-7-5, while yours is 4-5-3.

There are two forms of haiku. The three five three and the five seven five.

I think I got this...

Now you write one!

Oh, my bad.
I didn't realize.
Now I know.
