*gasp* Just when I thought this might be a contest I had a shot at... The great Jazzo appears with his amazing poems!
LOL

EDIT: Okay, I thought for a while and came up with one of each... I may do more later, once my creative energies have recharged. Neither of them rhyme... that's what I get for trying this at night....

Tanka:
These little people
Can cause us to act crazy
At times we are seen
Yelling at our computers:
“Go get the mushroom!”

Haiku:
Our pixel people
Run back and forth on the map
Of our VV games!

ANOTHER EDIT: Do these poems have to be about the VV games? Because I'm considering coming up with something for our admins and mods! And possibly one about PT.... hmmmm.... lol

LDW related

write to your hearts content

I just wrote these
Don't know if I will have a chance!!

Swift, choppy ocean,
Washing up colorful shells,
Kids splashing about.

Strong builders nailing
Sheltering, safe strawgrass huts
Protection from rain.

Beautiful blue sea,
Mothers show their shy babies,
Whispering softly.

Smooth, tender green leaves,
Blossoming soft pink flowers,
Leaving fragile seeds.

Magical island,
Isola is it's true name,
Full of mystery...

Pebbles in the tank,
Fish swimming happily too.
Strange mystery eggs,
We may get fish that are new,
The magic fish may be near.

The small tribe of mine,
Works to find its only food.
The guiding hand helps,
But we still may not survive,
Help our small village to thrive.

A baby is held,
By a nurturing parent.
Soon to be a child.
The parent shows the baby,
The ocean the waves, the sun.

Isola is pure,
Isola is magical,
Some do not survive.
Villagers co-operate,
And lend eachother a hand.

can it be plant/fish tycoon related?

Loki, yes. Any thing LDW related is good to go. Plant and Fish Tycoon are LDW related so feel free to use them.

Sweet. Okay, so, here's a couple of Tanka's, one about the admins here on the forums and one about PT. (Again, no real rhymes, and some odd structure (I think) in order to fit the syllable guidlines.)


Soil in the pot, then
Add in a little water
Drop in the small seed
And wait for it to grow tall
To show us its pretty blooms

Arthur! And Carla!
And LadyCFII!
Our problem solvers!
“Hip Hip Hooray!” we all say
When they help us with our games!

Wow!! That really good, I like it a lot!!

i love LDW
they know how to make the games
i know how to play

More!!!

Research, farm, and build,
Everyone has lots to do,
Get the food bin filled,
Hey this puzzle's almost through,
which job have I set for you?

Tanka #4

Isola is great,
Villagers are living there,
we control their fate,
We guide them and let them thrive,
First they must learn to survive.

Oooh, I wanna try ! Though I'm not very good...

Haikus

Under the hot sun
A celebration is made
a mystery solved

Just beyond the shore
Golden Gates of Isola
Reveal a village

So much is unknown
Yet so much is dicovered
On this new Island

Go sit in the sand
Feel the rhythm of the sea
Between you and me

Go look around you
Isola works its magic
Some that you can't see

Tankas

A villager falls
Only on desolate land
Forever in fear
Of a crate never to come
But in hope of to anew

A new mother rests
With a baby on her lap
Gazing at the sea
Or looking up at the sky
And reaching for whats beyond

Basking in the sun
Is a large crab in its wake
Very unaware
Of a boy standing above
A spear ready at his hand
