Haiku Fridays: Silent Haiku

Posted on Friday, October 26 @ 17:49:00 Eastern by Daniel Bischoff

When they told me that we could giveaway an all-expense-paid trip to Silent Hill, where one of our readers would stay a week surrounded my Nurses and Pyramids (Silent Hill is in Egypt?) I laughed. There was no way I was going to send one of our readers to one of those vacation resorts in the middle of winter so they can spend their entire time in the room watching snow falling on the pool.

Oh, and they said that you'd get to experience everything Silent Hill had to offer, all this stuff about how beautiful the countryside is after the fog burns off and how the people are really friendly, like borderline uncomfortably so.

Instead, I thought I'd save the residents of Silent Hill from the terror that is the GR community. That doesn't mean we don't have something for you! Up for grabs is a copy of Silent Hill: Book of Memories and two t-shirts from Silent Hill: Revelations 3D. All you have to do is submit a haiku about Silent Hill in the comments!

While this one is unfortunately only open to win for those of you in the United States, we'll be reading our favorites next week in our spookily on-time Halloween episode of GameRevolution Radio!

Go go go go!

Remeber to rate your favorite (or most hated) Haikus so we know which to read on the air!

What is Silent Hill?
'cause I am a scaredy-cat,
never played the games.

I haven't either,
But it's not because I'm scared!
Well, just a little.

Played a few back in the PS and PS2 days, were nice and creepy and you ended up hating your character a bit.

Sirens wail in the

Dreams unchecked and free
Turn to phantoms, id expressed

Was it just the xbox version that had that stupid frigging dog ending...

Nurses are scary,
No face but a sharp scalpel,
Now turn and cough, please.

Ah, Pyramid Head
Even though we all love you,
You still rape monsters

I didnt mean curse the filter, just that it was a curse filter.
I didnt get any thumbs up for my haikus. *tear*

Why did I adopt
this crazed demon little girl?
Where is her mother?

That moment where you
hear the siren blare loudly
and know you are screwed.

Lost in foggy town
Find radio; scan stations
Nothing but static.
