PRAVDA SPECIAL EDITION #14 3/4 - 7th August 2003 - The Collected Works of Hive Haikus Got spare money?


COMRADES!
WE GREET EACH DAY WITH THE TRUTH!


Lenin's Birthday Edition of the Russian Newspaper "Pravda" which means "The Truth"

The Collected Works of Hive Haikus

Pravda presents you
The Hive Haiku collection
Enjoy it, we hope

Of Wisdom

I have decided
To only talk in poetry -
Life is beautiful.

I will aways give
A good answer to your questions -
Their meaning is deep

The tree that is young
Must wait for many long years
Before it gives fruit

In the dark night
It is easy to mistake
A cat for a frog.

The young crocus tries
To push its towards the sun -
I first hear your name.

Watch the corn ripen -
We do not see the truth so
Time passes slowly

Bright as the red leaves
Your soft words bring me to rest -
At a great distance.

It is wise to keep
Close to the warmth of the heart.
The trees stand naked.

The powerful verse
Has changed the mind of many -
What joy is freedom.

Jamski

Of Haikus

As the lotus blooms -
So the knowledge of words grows
Soon all Comrades read.

Jamski

The young pine is thin.
A Haiku must always have
A seasonal word.

Jamski

The work we have here
Is only a fleeting whim -
Untill the leaves fall.

Jamski

In the spring of years
The young mistake a "Haiku"
For a limerick.

Jamski

The teacher feels snow -
In the spring the pupils should
Try something different.

Jamski

Aside limericks
In bountiful poetry
Haikus could one do

Vev

The wind is so soft -
But music cannot be heard
When noone listens.

Jamski

Loud shall the drums beat
All in Chiron shall hear us
Glorious Pravda

Vev

The apples are sour -
Perhaps imitation should
Not be so my friend.

Jamski

Jam speaks correctly
Poetry is not evil
Haiku music in ear

Rokossovky

I really must say,
Impressive are all Haikus,
Insanity, none

Rokossovky

Pleased to see converts
All shall share enlightenment
Glorious Haikus

Vev

Comrade Vev I fear
Your collection is endless -
Eternal Haikus come.

Jamski

For those interested
I have archived the Haikus
On my new website.

Jamski

Vev apologise
Rightful author respected
Vander not Oct X

Vev

Pravda celebrates
From a humble beginning
To five hundred posts

Vev

Of Avatars

It is "glorious"
Once more the avatars show
But what is yours Vev?

Jamski

From White Wolf it is
A symbol used in a game
Of ether mages

Vev

Octavian needs
posts for custom avatar
So he makes more spam.

Octavian X

Great xenodoughnut
Lucious dark chocolate
Need lots of sprinkles

Vev

Enlightened Linus
Knowledge from words within words
Shall wisdom sprout from

Vev

Of Bases

My opinion is
That the base should keep its name -
Pines change not their leaves.

Jamski

Chill winter winds blow
Future seeds scatter away
Time to blossum soon

Vev

If every member
Is able to name a base -
How many bases?

Jamski

How many bases
Must a man walk down a road
Before it's his base

Vev

The answer my friend
Is blowing in the soft wind
That stirs the blossoms.

Jamski

What ever happened
To Octavian's Huddling Of
The Xenodoughnuts

Vev

Of Battle

A strong cold wind -
The invaders of the Hive
Are not welcome here.

Jamski

No mercy given
Kill all babarians
Cold corpse feeds the tanks

Vev

Death is the final
Duty of our enemies -
The Rec-Tanks are full.

Jamski

Bountiful harvest
Reaped upon the our foes
The workers are pleased

Vev

Our plates are well filled -
In the invaders bases
Mothers have no sons.

Jamski

Blood shall warm the heart
Breath shall draw war and conflict
Fed well are mindworms

Vev

Chestnuts are gathered -
Skulls of human beings are
Not designed to stack.

Jamski

Night creatures we are
Earth shall be final embrace
Solace in darkness

Vev

Of Attempted Anti-Haiku Actions

Alas wound too deep
Sorrowful winter descends
I breathe my last breath

Vev

The moon is rising -
As the last leaf falls to earth
I embrace my death.

Jamski

The rumors were false -
As the snowdrop grows anew
So Jamski lives on.

Jamski

The pearl of conscious
Like gentle morning spring rain
Renewed and reformed

Vev

But Jamski and Vev
Are immune to flame weapons
For no good reason.

Jamski

Hot is the fire
Burning bright like demon's wrath
No need for blankets

Vev

Jamski points out :
To protect against the flames
We use fire blankets.

Jamski

What does one uses
To protect protect from the babies
Use baby blankets?

Vev

Octavian says:
Tomorrow I will order
haiku writers shot

Octavian X

Marshal double posts
Glowing bright in Moonshadow
Haikus will prevail

Vev

Anger has two effects :
The Marshal writes double posts
And glows in the dark.

Jamski

Doubled are the posts
As no two snowflakes alike
There was more shouting

Vev

Of One-Sentence IC Story

Jamski has no clue
what the "single white female
routine" is about.

Jamski

A movie it is
For she shall have everything
HTML here

Vev

But Bridget Fonda
Could not reach the flat in time
To get some blankets.

Jamski

No blankets for you
Sociopathic is squid
Jamski you are doomed

Vev

One sentence story -
A one-haiku story is
fitting for the squid.

Jamski

The squid shall prevail
For it cannot be denied
From ashes spring come

Vev

From the fresh squid corpse
Jamski makes squid tempura -
It tastes like ashes.

Jamski

No! Not beloved squid
Much life it has unfulfilled
Gone, Spring to Winter

Vev

The girl sleeps deeply -
In her bed a Haiku lies
Poems sleep not.

Jamski

Blankets embrace us
A glowing warmth shared between
Wonders who are they

Vev

Mrs Jamski stirs -
Although the bedroom is warm
She needs more blankets

Jamski

What a sad news
She can have all the blankets
Jamski is dead

HongHu

For the love of God
Please stop with these damn haiku:
It is annoying

Octavian X

Sorry to offend
Only the glorious Hive
Can write Haiku posts

Jamski

Progeny of Squid
Comes bearing great offerings
Blankets for Jamski

Vev

And the cat, as well
was able to speak haiku
insulting the squid

Vander

Squid was furious
Honoured ancestors insults
Unforgivable

Vev

Of Spam

Sweet shall victory
The Hive will spam all others
None can prevail us

Vev

When the shouting stops
That makes cherry blossom fall -
Just one voice is heard.

Jamski

Wind whispers in groves
A cherry blossum seed sprouts
Another petal falls

Vev

The master is pleased -
To lie in the shade of verse
Written by pupils.

Jamski

Student seek to please
Was inspired from the heart
To scribe spam Haiku

Vev

The sun makes shadows -
In the bright light of daytime
Who can see the stars?

Jamski

Spam made in springtime :
The meat knows not its name which
HongHu just whispers.

Jamski

Spam is delicious
Fit for summer, spring, autumn
Hearty winter meal

Vev

Despite the warm rain
The animals were dirty -
Spam gains more flavor.

Jamski

See delightful spam
How it cradles the sunlight
No one shall now starve

Vev

Like dew in the sun
The origin of the meat
Has simply vanished.

Jamski

What is the secret
Of meat so mysterious
Only Googlie knows

Vev

I wonder why
threads in this forum always
turn into spam fests

Octavian X

Vev has been spiking
All the water that we drink
It's making us spam

Kody

Waterfall babble
Fresh cool spring mountain water
Music to the ears

Vev

Old is the rec room
Fifth incarnation cycle
Much more spam needed

Vev

Of Turn-Chat

Is it possible
That we can play the turn now
And get a move on?

Jamski

This is such good news
I have it open right here
Which info you need?

Jamski

I hope that will be
Just enough information
To get you started

Jamski

Are we all agreed
That the name changes are good?
Googlie will be pleased

Jamski

After the base builds
I present you with a long
List of unit moves :

Jamski

My internet link
Was sadly broken apart
But I have come back

Jamski

Do not forget that
You must copy the turnchat
Into the right thread

Jamski

I cannot do this
As I lost the whole first half
When my compy died.

Jamski

Hear 'Turn advantage'
Melodious sweet tinkle
Power to the Hive

Vev

Of Turn delay

Squids shall wreak havoc
Such fury no storms can match
Humans have new fear

Vev

The turn must come soon -
The sky turns to silver-grey
And the storks come home.

Jamski

Of Madness

Honey dew fragrance -
Compliment is accepted
Vev likes bright colours

Vev

ph34r m3 4 1 4m
l33t sk1llz L4c|<1ng g|_|5t0, w|-|1t
n44d1ng 50m3 c4ff31n3....

Vander

Truth within madness
Hidden in each facet, like
Broken mirror shards

Vev

Of Health

Hive Health Annoucement
There is no ACHOO virus
Please do not panic

Vev

It had gone too far -
Already Octavian
Had caught the disease

Jamski

Illness has no cure
Embrace and let go yourself
Haiku is the path

Vev

The Marshal was wrong
The evil poetry virus
Was not that evil.

Jamski

If Octavian
Sees yet another haiku
he will surely barf.

Octavian X

Of Deidre

I cannot Haiku
Deidre's pet secret project
Woe betides me now

Vev

Which is the project
That Vev refers to sadly?
We all want to know.

Jamski

It is the VW
Not the humble volkswagen
But Weather paradigm

Vev

Perhaps it is time
For haikus about Deidre
Many can join in

Vev

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

At work supposed I
But addictions hard to break
Haikus I create

Logical are we
But meaningless Hive poems
Overload circuits

Projects seem to change
Ineffable strategy
For what will be built?

Tassadar is fun
Yet he vexes some so much
That his head was bought

Living on Chiron
Requires wisdom and logic
Only ‘Borgs posses

Pravda is the truth
However only 3D
Has the Gorilla

Are not Haikus fun?
You will all kneel before us
Or we will rampage

The Hive make great friends
We may someday soon be joined
spoiler(highlight to read):
Until we kill all

The Chocolate Series
Note that 'chocolate' can be either 2 syllables (choc-late) or 3 syllables (choc-o-late)

Revenge - dark chocolate
Leaves a dry taste in your mouth
A dish best served cold

CyCon chocolate
Best on Chiron, for programs...
Can cause reactions (only makes sense if seen The Matrix Reloaded)

Hivian chocolates
Lareg, exiting and stylish
but all full of spam

PUT chocolate
Rarely seen, very bitter
Hard, maybe brittle?

Chocolates of PEACE
Very salty, full of rum
Floats drunk down your throat

Free Drones chocolate
Soot black, practical but dull
bit of a dark horse

Life is like chocolate
Addictive, varied and fun
all ends in a mess

Missing girl Drogue is
Unable to comprehend
Logic circuit blown

Exercise caution
But do not blind to virtue
A beautiful world

Wisdom is simple:
Be logical, praise Googlie
Trust all, be happy
