Hype-Kus (NOW DOING SONNETS!!!1)

[Battlecow]

So, I've noticed that there is astonishingly little poetry in the souls of smash bros. Players. Without poetry, life is meaningless, and without smash, life sucks, so I thought that the only reasonable thing to do was to create this thread, in honor of Isai's imminent return from Peru

Post Haikus about how much hype you feel

My personal effort:



Mother****ing Hype

So much god-damn ****ing hype

HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE



*bows*

My man Miyagi started off this proud tradition with one written in legit calligraphy pen on the back of a napkin:


Grand Finals Begins

Two friends now great enemies

Cow gonna get *****


Post your own efforts!

 

[ciaza]

ciaza is so great
Like really I'm the bestest
I suck at haikus

Follow that.

 

[Battlecow]

BTW Surri I just injected your girlfriend with a special and specially horrible strain of trichomoniasis

She gets the cure if, and only if, you don't close this or move it to social.

 

[Fish641]

Haikus ****ing suck
Because they're for Japanese
Not for English, bro

I was bored

 

[ciaza]

 

[The Star King]

B-cow in two words?
Very un-American
The truth is out now.

 

[Battlecow]

Now, now. Our little yellow friends may not be capable of creating great poetry like Americans do, but I felt that for a relatively non-poetic community like ours, we had to start small, and that means starting with a form from a culture vastly inferior to our own. The syllable thing is fun and easy.

Another one from me:


Napoleon stands

Hat in hand at Waterloo

Feeling for Star King


And another:

Glowworm taking names

Victorious Wellington

See the resemblance?

 

[The Star King]

French nationalist
Limited by foolish pride
Star King laughs at him

Such patriotism
Battlecow's great fatal flaw
Resemblance here, too.

 

[Fish641]

Now, now. Our little yellow friends may not be capable of creating great poetry like Americans do[...]

Talking about the Japanese or us with yellow names?

 

[crush]

I see you driving
Downtown with the girl i love
And im like, haiku

Though technically

They fit all the requirements

Those lines are awkward


Were I your teacher

I would smack your hand for you

and give you a "C"


And seriously

"Battlecow's great fatal flaw"?

Redundancy much?


This form really does

constrain me to a lame extent

**** the Japanese


From now on, y'all

We will be writing sonnets

No more hype-kus here


Whether Petrarchan

Or even Shakespearean

It's all good, yo

 

[asianaussie]

The title of this thread was quite a lure
So in I walked with sonnets on my mind
Yet what I find is briskly typed manure
I wonder when your intellects declined

You're spouting words with syllable constraints
Not paying heed to Eastern flow or form
So here it is: my sonnet-form complaint
It has no standard rhymescheme: it's freeform

Ok, I rhymed 'freeform' with 'form', my bad
But your attempts at haiku still depress
With no intent but making others mad
It's obvious your 'art' becomes a mess

Now I'm no critic, I admit that now
But crush here outhaiku'd you, my dear cow.

 

[Red the Ghost]

They fit all the requirements

In your urge to win
An overzealous mistake
Became your downfall

 

[ciaza]

Impudent human
Requirements: three syllables
This website said so

 

[infiniteV115]

You guys suck at these
My haikus are much better
Trololololol.

 

[ballin4life]

sir I enjoyed your
haiku; it is pretty cool
truly i loled bro

This is quite possibly the best thing ever. EVER.

a-hem

Of my haikus we will not henceforth speak
The East hath not a devotee in me
I thought 'twould be a plus to my mystique
Alas, I still drink coffee, not green tea

An Occidental man such as myself
Needs rhyme and reason in his daily verse
I now must needs put pride upon its shelf
and labor on, with tear and muttered curse

Isai returns hence this next Sunday
Bringing with him a win of West o'er West
(Depending, 'course, on how he chose to play,
Utilt-Utilt or teleport to rest)

But Ah! My soul! And Ah! My blistered thumb,
he'll see my verse, and then proclaim, "ur dum"

SONNETS GUYS

SONNETS

This is quite possibly the best thing ever. EVER.

the literature dirk in me is screaming about iambic pentameter, but +10 rep for the last line alone

i might respond when ive finished my naan

 

[Battlecow]

I'm bad at iambic pentameter

I kinda stick ten syllables in there and hope for the best

dammit maybe limericks are more my line of work.

There once was a kirby from Nantucket
With a Utilt so large he-

You know what? I'll stop there.

 

[asianaussie]

by the way, haiku is 3 syllables

 

[Battlecow]

Wut

No

But wait

If that's the case, Ciaza's refrigerator one was off

And that was like fancy and professional

So we'll say that in English it's two syllables and chalk this misunderstanding up to Sino-Japanese tensions

 

[asianaussie]

wait

seems you pronounce it with 2 syllables

seems some of my sonnet was off, brb changing it

 

[Battlecow]

Typical sonnet-noob mistake

 

[asianaussie]

i still maintained a semblance of alternating emphasis-support

years of memorising shakespeare means i automatically read verse like that

 

[Battlecow]

"Now I'm no critic, I admit that now"?

Someone had eight syllables and needed ten. At least use different filler words next time.

In all srsness though that was a boss-*** sonnet

 

[asianaussie]

Now-I'm-no-cri-tic-I-ad-mit-that-now

pretty sure that adds up to 10

 

[ciaza]

He's saying you used crappy filler words to make that ten, when at first you only had 8.

 

[Battlecow]

What he said

 

[ciaza]

Now now, play nice now.

 

[asianaussie]

The whole point is to have weak-strong sounds in accordance with iambic pentameter

maybe 'This thread is good, the concept I allow'

dunno

 

[infiniteV115]

This haiku will be
Replaced with a sonnet soon
Try to be patient

 

[ballin4life]

10 syllable lines = MEH. You can't usually bust a flow with that many syllables since most beats are in 4/4 time.

 

[Fish641]

Either my rap was terrible, or it was entirely missed :/

go back to being uninspired

we're creating art here

 

[jimmyjoe]

This thread is too Boss; must participate.
I'll sleep when dead, job can wait until nine.
So much awesomesauce to appreciate:
Cow, what a thread! AA, your work-Divine!

Maybe all threads should be in rhyme or verse
for SSB, wouldn't that be the ****.
Everything would be better, nothing worse!
Just so you know, I'm going to try it:

Tap wrong way within 4 frames of Up-B
extra vertical height for Mario
Obviously, 'tis also for Wee-gee
move to "Simple facts that you may not know.."?

Edit:
Thank you ciaza two lines I now edit.
BTW, I failed English Lit.

 

[ciaza]

Silly jimmy, sonnets are 14 lines.

Good work though =)

Thank you sir, It has been mended!

I made the tier list
And two combo videos
And that's about it
