# NetHack haiku
A haiku is a form of short Japanese poem. Wikipedia's article explains the rules.

Little doggie you
Are going to be killed soon
By a falling rock. 

--argiopeweb

The spikes were poisoned
And the poison was deadly
Get some intrinsics.

--aioli &amp; argiopeweb

The soldier ant hits
You will soon know what you have
It could have saved you

--firemonkey

You insulted law
Now you have to pay the price
Wide angle death beam

--aioli

With this wooden ring
I can cross the water, but
then an eel zapped me

--Toni Keskalto

Do you feel lucky?
Do you want your possessions
identified, punk?

Dead troll in a lake:
Yellowing leaves on water
Stirred by its last gasps

--Raxvulpine

Cherry blossoms drape the
Chest where the troll is buried.  
Welcome to level 12.

--Raxvulpine

The troll is slowing 
Down, the nights are growing long, 
It has turned to stone

--Raxvulpine

Snow slowly fills grooves 
burned above a hero's grave 
mistyped Ebehlert

--cjeris

I sacrifice much 
Faithless Anhur gives me what? 
yes, Ogresmasher 

--cjeris

A four-leaf clover--- 
and pray. Anhur seems displeased. 
Goddamn Sokoban! 

--Raxvulpine

Quaff from a fountain 
Wish for a cockatrice corpse, 
Watch out for the stairs. 

--Temyx

--More-- --More-- --More-- --More-- --More-- 
--More-- --More-- --More-- --More-- --More-- Escape 
You have turned to stone. 

--tejón

Scroll upon the ground 
Erupts in an inferno 
Dammit, my good robe!

Lichen, straight ahead! 
You, needing sustenance soon, 
Attack-- a green mold. 

--MrGuy 21:39, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Curious and and blind
Her ungloved hand feels slowly
A cockatrice corpse
