This poem shall be written in the form of a lot of haikus, and was inspired by the poem involving Teclis.

The Wardancers charged,
Into the fray of battle,
The death was dealt fast,

They must hold the flank,
The Ancient Treeman creaked forth,
Sprites laughing from pranks,

See what the moon lit,
The sight of the enemy,
Alas stood Skarsnik,

Massive Goblin host,
As far as the eye can see,
Tonight would make ghosts,

The Treeman advanced,
The Wardancers and charged,
Glory to be grasped,

But forth came Skarsnik,
Gobbla, spilling drool, leapt up,
Took off Treemans head,

Vengeance, Dancers cried,
Whilring Death, they danced forward,
And so, they all died,

And yet Skarsnik lived,
Not a Killing Blow was hit,
For a sneaky trick,

For unfortunate,
As behind Skarsnik, Shaman,
Cast Gork'll Fix It

Well done. Was there an intended rhyme scheme? You don't typically see rhyming haiku, but the lines that did really stood out. I liked it.

This was my favorite stanza:

Massive Goblin host,
As far as the eye can see,
Tonight would make ghosts,


well played sir.

Thank you, and yes, the first and last lines of each haiku were supposed to rhyme. Whether they did well is open to debate. And the only reason I did haiku was because I cannot do peoms very well!
