Phillipe is firewood
Clork prattles gazing downward
Best view of Tannis

Plagiarizing myself from an earlier post:

Gaige was unprepared
The Ancient Dragons attacked
Four hundred stacks lost

Is there nothing worse
Than OMGWTH
Taking your Peak run

For @farsight37

Boobs point direction
Crooning radio, old piano
Zaford emblem found

Borderlands: A Riddle!

Poetic license taken with radio (ray-dyo) and piano (pya-no) to maintain 7 syllables

This is new to me
I’m not that good at haikus
Or, at least, I think.

Oh, for Borderlands?
Let me see what I can do.
…It’s made by Gearbox?

I had a bit of time after work this evening, so for better or for worse (almost certainly worse!), here are my contributions:

Several character haikus:

EXPLOSIONS!!! **** YEAH!
MISTER TORGUE APPROVES THIS ■■■■!
MEEDLYMEEDLYMOW!!!

Kill Jack Kill Jack Kill
Jack Kill Jack Kill Jack Kill Jack
Haiku by Tina

Claptrap’s dubstep song
Nobody wants to hear it
Just shut up and die

Talented Moxxi
Chestacular bartender
Vampiric gun smith

Poop train conductor
Meat man of nipple salads
Taste the violence

Deputy of pain
Broken skills in human form
Salvador is fun!


A tribute to the ending of the Tina DLC, which is a personal favorite:

Grieving for dear friends
Role playing game helps process
Rest in peace Bloodwing


And a reply to Jefe’s most recent entry:

Gaige: "What is capstone?"
Mechromancers do not need
Skill tree is hot mess
