Follow I must do now
Like Yoda my poem reads
(First poem I've ever written \o/, its crap)
It's quite good, I say
For one who bears such a name

Ah ! This AAR...
As beautiful as petals
of cherry blossoms
これ輪うまい
俳句隙です
有賀とよ
(This is delicious
I love haikus
thank you !)

Paradoxian with a nick that was Slavic
Enjoyed many a well-crafted word trick
Read an AAR writ in haiku
Thought it was neat, so he tried it too
But he ended up writing a limerick.
Irish limericks
Lack Japanese Elegance
But still poetry
AllmyJames, You fool!
Look what you have gone and done?
A thousand haikus!
A thousand, or more?
Will this be an AAR,
Or simply haikus?
A link may weaken
The strongest chain of all,
But this thread endures.
All throughout this day
I've tried to speak in Haiku.
Wife very puzzled.

Even Dagoba
Boasts a poet in its swamps
Great trees grow from seeds
Life is a haiku
Each passing event an 'on'
We find our metre.
Oh dear. An expert.
Who can also speak Japanese.
Criticise kindly.
Even though it is hard
A haiku I'll try to write
While writing a reply

Hope I haven't made any mistakes.

We all like haiku
So let's keep up the writing
Here are helpful tips
The correct haiku
Has five, seven, five syllables
Spread over three lines.
Plus, if possible,
A kireji splits it up,
Two poems from one
Seasonal kijo:
This word evokes poem's soul
Spring, fall or summer
Wikipedia
Informs me of all these rules,
I break them sometimes

Here’s the First Chapter
Rykuyu's Mothers Weep Tears
Year Fourteen-oh-One
First we move slider
One step to innovative
Huh! Barbarians!
We have no army
But no money to build one
Quite a conundrum
Looking for Allies
Daughter marries Korean
Not such a good plan
Ingrate son-in-law
Claims the Chrysanthemum Throne
Over my dead body!
Wrath of Heaven strikes
Plague in city of Bundo
Many thousands dead
Emperor appears
Leads invincible horde
Sails to Rykuyu
Colonial war
Godless pagans have no rights
Victory assured
Trade will bring us wealth
Jiansu has much potential
Damn – it’s full of Ming!
Better in Settsu
Owned by us, but worth much less
Adequate for now
Look at Ezochi
Not Japanese, but Ainu
This will have to change
Honguru Xuan
New advisor from the Ming
Guaranteed? That’s good!
Rykuyu annexed
Surely the will of Heaven?
Will they see this too?
Fort on Ezochi
National Focus as well.
Missionaries, ho!
Here ends chapter one.
Rykuyu islands conquered
Ezochi upgrades
But what to do next?
Colonize Taiwan? Elsewhere?
War with Korea?
All advice welcome,
Together we will succeed
Japan will be great!

But take careful measures
Or feel its anger.
Nippon will expand
Peaceful islands await you
Benefit from them.
