8584, Battle Haikus (Calling All challengers!!)
Posted by Boon_Quadroon, Wed May-08-02 06:28 AM
Yeah, I'm feeling a little aggressive today. I'm probably ego tripping and the delirium will pass soon, but today, I feel that, I AM THE TRUE BATTLE HAIKU MASTER!!!! I'm throwing down the gauntlet!!

Come test!!
You can't beat me!!
I run this!!

Let's begin!

My Haiku Style:

Beaheads a million
left weaving in cold wind a
headless dan-delion.


Simplicity of character is the natural result of profound thought.


8585, debatably, you went over
Posted by Chike, Wed May-08-02 06:32 AM
I say dandelion has 4 syllables. So your last line is wrong. Anyway...

Flowery rhymes get
Stomped, I stamp my foot, you quit
I take out the comp

May the Lord give you wisdom...

Yo, I'll give it a go

Let me drop science
On your feeble domes and put
You all back in school

When I'm done none stand
Leave you all extinct waiting
for resurection

It's time for bed kids
the rhymes you kick are tired
practice for a bit





"And tell your momma quit paging a brotha at work and leave this rappin' shit to the experts" Mc Ren

"Heed, I flip rhyme to the beat and flip mode to explode when it's time to compete
blow up, throw up your hands to this it's easy to be ruthless gangstas never die" RBX

Vision this like Vivitar, whose repituar is as vast as Madagascar pull you out the car, murder so bizarre, ARE YOU READY!! RBX

"Let freedom ring with a buck shot but not just yet, first we need to truly understand the nature of the threat, the pale man walks in the threshold of darkness...." Ras Kass

"My mental is the bullet and my tounge is the finger to pull it..." Ras Kass

"*because I had a pretty large dome when I was a shorty. I had to wear a helmet because my head was so heavy that I would lean into shit.*" ... "*"I don't know what's more cruel...The fact that my parents bought a helmet to keep me from falling over, or the fact that they also bought a football T-Shirt so I can pretend that I'm Walter Payton?*" SpookyElectric reply
