Children stare in awe
As Guardians line the wall
The city lives again

(Uh, that's one too many syllables there, bub.)

Aaargh! How did I miss that!?

I had typed a draft and put an "*" next to lines that I needed to revise / reword,
looks like I forgot to fix that one.

If you had commented a couple weeks ago, I could have had time to fix it!
Completely my fault though. oh well.

I joined in for the fun of it and community spirit, not to win a prize.
I had figured I disqualified myself anyway by adding the "A hero sleeps tonight" closing line.
But I didn't care because it just felt right to add it.

The OCD part of me though, is upset that I got an extra syllable in that other line

Children stare in awe
As Guardians line the wall
The city lives again

(Uh, that's one too many syllables there, bub.)

The city now dark
Awaits its heroes of light
Traveler’s delight

Questioning her worth
A Hero’s heart weighs heavy
Souls she could not save

Sleepless nights fly by
A Hero’s heart is lonely
Her burden to bear

Stand up, fight, believe
Hope shines brightest in the dark
Hear my call-to-arms

Strike as one with might
A family forged of light
Three warriors fight

Children stare in awe
As Guardians line the wall
The city lives again

...a Hero sleeps tonight.

The stanza about the Raid Lair caused me to laugh out loud,
you were spot on with that one! :)

That’s Not Your Piston!
No! Not Arc Or Solar! Void!
Oh Crap! The Cutscene!

Remember, a Haiku is defined as a short poem consisting of three lines in the arrangement of:

First Five Syllables
Seven Syllables
Then Five Syllables

I have no time here
To explain the moon wizard
It is too cheesy.

Inverted Haiku!

Not even enough room to
Vault space premium
Guess I will play Pokémon

I am probably due up for another batch of art books though.

Super is building
Y'all better watch your asses
Pop it! Nope, I'm dead

The grind is real, friends
working for that special set
F*** you too, Rahool

Shaders shaders ugh
Shaders shaders shaders ugh
Sha- ENOUGH ALREADY

Come on blueberry
Learn to trigger heroic
Thanks for the one coin

Waiting in orbit
Is he going to join us?
No? Dang it. Now what?

Remember that dude?
I think his name was like, Ghoul?
What happened to him?

Entertainingly, I don't need any more copies of The Art of Destiny around my house.

Heh, neither do I, hence getting rid of one! (:

I do still need to pick up a copy of Volume 2, though.

For this round of No Longer Neglected, you must follow in MacAddictXIV’s footsteps and write seven Haiku on the Destiny topic of your choice. This is MacAddictXIV’s speciality, or so he claims, so do your best knowing that you might be going in at a significant disadvantage. ;)

Really?

I mean, I understand the significance of the number, but we have to write seven?

If you’ll recall, cheapLEY was the sponsor for Round 2 of No Longer Neglected, so you and him will need to get in contact to arrange the sending of the book.

Harmanimus, get in contact with me (through the email link in my profile) and I’ll send you the pretty awesome Bungie mug! :)

Keep in mind that that email link sends your messages to your Spam folder (apparently smallbits is suspicious?).

I don't think you ever got my email. :T
