Haiku Fridays: Where the Points Don't Matter

Posted on Friday, October 7 @ 20:10:09 Eastern by

I'm going to make this Haiku Fridays short and sweet. We have a card. It's worth 1600 Microsoft Points. We will give you that card if you write the best haiku.

Get it? Got it? Good.

I'm off to play some more Battlefield 3 Beta because I don't have a copy of Arkham City in my hands right now.

    Their graves abandoned,
    zombies stalk the autumn night…
    Halloween is near.

    Innocent pumpkins
    carved into jack-o‘-lanterns…
    now we roast the seeds.

    On Halloween night,
    they trick-or-treat door-to-door…
    the little monsters!

    And just for fun:

    Skyrim is coming, the geese are getting fat
    Please to put a Septim in the old Nord's hat;
    If you haven't got a Septim, a ha'Septim will do,
    If you haven't got a ha'Septim then The Nine bless you!
