GoI haikus

ramjamslam:
Hire and Higher are homophones how can they have different syllables?  By those rules this is a 5/7/5 haiku:

Hire Higher Higher
Higher Higher Hire Higher,
Higher Higher Hire.

Mod Josie:
You're right, it is a haiku! :D

Homophones only go so far in the Queen's English. There is a subtle nuance in their pronunciation that isn't important for regular speakers. The same is true of all the different iterations of 'there' such as 'their' and 'they're'. Higher has two syllables when using the nuances, where hire and fire have only one. Don't ask me why - it's complicated.

Spelling and Grammar,
Pronunciation is king.
Intonation rulz.

Shadak Shademore:
Playing hide and seek,
With many clouds to hide ships,
A flare wins this game.

Replaceable:
I know it's been long
Since another post, oh well
I enjoy Haiku.

Banshee, flamer, mine
Incendiary'd be great
Hi, welcome to cake.

Getting on aft guns.
*sigh* I'm getting on aft guns.
Getting on aft guns.

Triangle Pyra.
Green flare like all-seeing eye.
Illuminati.

Love is like a mine.
Beautiful yet rather mean.
Harsh world killed spire.

Level one pilot:
"I'm going for kero turn."
Where are my engines?

Hull armour is down.
Where is that mortar, come on.
Competitive match.

They tell of a game.
With friends, laughs and so much fun.
Guns of Icarus.

RethBurn:
Late Night Gaming
"Ship down, Drink that beer, Reth!"
I hate Swizy.

Whack the engines.
Don't Loch the Flamer, Help me!
Being CA is fun.

Red Bull, pillow, chat.
War Clock is counting still.
Sigh, Steam sales
