Gully Dwarf Haikus

By the Staff

hai·ku (hk)
n. pl. haiku, also hai·kus

  1. A Japanese lyric verse form having three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables, traditionally invoking an aspect of nature or the seasons.
  2. A poem written in this form.

Is it possible for gully dwarves to count higher than two? High enough to do proper prose? The staff here at Dragonlance Underground went searching for very few gully dwarf poets out there. We found a few, and had them pen some work to share with the rest of the world.

Yes, we're aware that Tavin isn't a gully dwarf, but he really wanted to be another article besides the nuggets.

I pick my booger
Sticky booger on my thumb
I can suck my thumb
-Raistlame
Dragon men go bye
Gold one make big messy boom!
Pretty colors yes?
-Raistlehoff
 
"Life like Stew," she yells.
I yell, "Stew like Life ugly girl."
Now no stew or life.
-Raistlana
I could brush my hair
Wash my dirty smelly self
Nope, I don't think so
-Raistlame
 
Two plus two is two
And two times two is two too
Math not hard at all
-Raistlehoff
"What are they?" says me.
"Haiku," High Bulp say to me.
"Bless you," me reply.
-Niltsiar
 
All my gully friends
Oh why do they always run
I DID bathe last year
-Golden Boy
Gullies like kender
Gullies like kender pouches
Have some good flavors
-Raistlame
 
Garbage dump my home
You can really smell my pits
Trash pits not arm pits
-Raistlame
Grovel 'round in mud
Having mud bath, getting nice
Soft, warm, squishy mud
-Lady Raist
 
Something not taste good
I will spit it out my friend
And you can try it
-Raistlame
Big clanky tall swings
WOOSH! Sword flies over my head
Good thing being short
-Lady Raist
 
Big tall fall off wall
All kings horses all kings men
Make tall whole again
-Lady Raist
To my pet Stewie,
Tribe likes him dipped and gooey.
I like him chewy.
-Raistlana
 
Who let the rats out?
Dinner ran off down cave hall
Hey, Yippie, Yi, Yo
-Lady Raist
Big Bosses so mean
They say hang by neck 'till dead
It's best sleep I've had
-Golden Boy
 
Grunt hurt self today
Finger in nose for long time
No treasure found there
-Raistlehoff
Highbulp and Bupu
Great king and queen of us but
She in love with tall
-Lady Raist
The only problem
with haiku is that you just
get started and then
-Tavin
