Post by: SoulEye on January 07, 2010, 05:42:35 PM
Hey! Write your own haiku pertaining to VVVVVV! :)
Don't know what a haiku is? Check here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku)
Here's mine to start us off:

                                                               The flipping falling -
                                                               even snowflakes awaiten
                                                               gravitys release.

どこに落ち
くるって回り
深い空き

doko ni ochi
kurutte mawari
fukai aki

(horrible, rough translation to fit within haiku structure)
Where will you fall to
Madly flipping to and fro
The deep emptiness

ConcealRise not here
I wish it were not this way
His haikus are best

The spikes are cruel
Terry, you added so many
Who will wipe my tears?

One too many syllables in the second phrase. Maybe "Terry, there are so many"?

Pssh.  If you can afford food, skip one meal a day for a week, and use that extra money to buy the game.  This is the only reasonable course of action for broke people.

I don't pay for food.

A crew of six are lost in space.
Their captain finds that he can trip
His right side up, his up side down,
And flips the frown that's on his face.

Did I do it right you guys

not really. a haiku consists of 3 lines. the lines have 5, then 7, then 5 syllables in them. (in that order)

Yes, I know, I was making a joke :/ All right, all right, here goes:

Up and down against
A backdrop of scrolling stars
V, the flying world.

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful trip
From this interstellar port
Aboard this tiny ship.

The mate was a mighty sailing man,
The captain brave and sure.
Six crewmates set sail that day
For a three hour tour, a three hour tour.

Interference started getting rough,
The tiny ship was tossed,
If not for the courage of the fearless crew
The Souleye would be lost, the Souleye would be lost.

The ship was teleported to VVVVVV
With Viridian
and Victoria,
Vermillion and Violet too
Verdigris,
The professor and all the rest
Here on Dimension V.

I'm so sorry (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfR7qxtgCgY)

I agree.

It's ten o'clock in Dublin
It's almost two for me
It's only noon in Honolulu
10th of January.

C-C-C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!!!!

The game is out now
You can enjoy the game now
I hope you like spikes

Intermission one
Might be a little bit hard
Maybe Murderous

You know what? Screw Haiku:

We can flip if we want to
We can leave your crew behind
Cause your crew don't flip
And if they don't flip
Well they're, no crew of mine
I say
We can go where we want to
Dimension they will never find
And we can act like we come from VVVVVV
Leave our old world far behind
And we can flip
And Sing!

Viridian is
happy; he flips and he flips
Ouch!  That's gotta hurt.

What lies beneath? You
ask me, and I must know it
Spikes do!  What a shock.

Let's try this again

tears get you nowhere?

All crew members found,
But something is not right...
You find that the brave captain
has disappeared out of sight!

He is all alone in an unknown area,
Going forever as the eye can see,
But a little searching and wandering,
he finds an interface,
it might let the ship free!

A little clickity-clakity from the keyboard,
And ignoring the persuasion...
BANG!
Uh oh that's not good!
You better get out of there Viridian!

Physics has gone wrong!
Lost in this strange universe,
I must find my crew.

Super Gravitron?
Completely impossible!
And yet still i try...

How about limericks?

My captain's initial is V
He's coming to rescue me
By bouncing around
From ceiling to ground
Due to abnormal gravitee

If I could jump to that edge
then I most solemnly pledge
that the goal would be mine
and all would be fine
but no, it's a waist-high insurmountable freakin' hedge!

(Feeling before correctness in this case!)

(Warning, this poem has spoilers)
All the shiny trinkets have been found,
Some easy, some you had ti find.
A portal opens, but leads to a dead end,
What to do now...?
COMBINE!!
