LATEST FEATURES Being A Console Is Actually Xbox One's Worst Asset
Microsoft's newest console has lots of different features, but video games might hold the device back from the software giant's true intentions.

    LAZINESS! Said you.
    Pressed this brand onto my head
    My shame till I die.

    It was not sloth, sir.
    Lack of desire for the prize
    guided what I wrote.

    Haiku I do write
    Attempting Freedom from shame.
    Simply say you’re sorry.

    At writing haiku
    I may not be the best, but
    better than the rest.

    Some were bad, some good
    Some smell as fish in the sun
    yet I should have won

    The fix is in. Humph.
    Masterpieces did I write.
    Beat out, ‘tis not right.

    You know just because you write many verses in one post isn't really fallowing the spirit of the contest. They ask for a 3 line Haiku. So even if you do post all that and its decent and maybe it even all good, that doesn't mean you should sound grumpy because you don't get picked. My view of this weekly thing has always been for fun and to hand out rewards to different people each week when they can.

    To be blunt reading a post like this just makes me see you as a sore looser.

    In the end this should all just be for good fun, write a silly poem and call it a day win or loose.

    Breaking Haiku form just to speak to you Merlin. Sorry if I come across as a sore looser, that was me trying to be funny (unsuccessfully). And it has blinded you to my real tirade against being singled out for what I see as a harsh rebuke: LAZINESS! “In the end this should all just be for good fun, write a silly poem and call it a day win or loose.” What you suggest I do I had already done. I wrote a silly and very bad little poem confident in the knowledge I could not win. I don’t have an Xbox 360 and thus did not want the prize. I wrote that silly and very bad little poem just for the fun of it. If you look at the whole page I was the only person singled out for a red bordered retort. Maybe I am overly sensitive, do to some emotionally scaring things in my past, yet I feel as if I was held up for public ridicule, pilloried if you will.
    A simple apology is all I ask, and until I get it Daniel gets more haiku.

    P.S. I think some of my 3 line only stuff was pretty good too. But then again what do I know?

    @tiny: You think that was a harsh rebuke?! lol I was must messing with you buddy. I've sent you off on a haiku tirade the likes of which the world has never, and will never again, see. Don't worry! You'll win a haiku fridays eventually, and you've got more entries in The People Speak drawing than anyone else.

    Ok, I’m mollified. Now some of your recent posts seem to have a familiar ring to them.

    I kinda thought you were kidding yet this last part just made me feel like the whole thing was some grumbling mumble of discontent.

    The whole thing was some grumbling mumble of discontent, just not about winning or losing.
