Freelancer Hakiu/poetry project

Sun May 04, 2003 10:09 pm by Meatboy Dogfood

First things to do is give credit where credit is due. "Free Trader Grendal" posted in the "best Freighter" thread. In his post he wrote the following Hakiu.

"See my Clydesdale go,
New York Lux goods to Tokyo.
Now I'm paid-- hookers please!"

"Gee, my Clydesdale looks
awesome. A shell for a hull
and twin engines too."

I added my two cents to the thread and stuck in my own Hakiu. Dealing with my freebooting Dromeadary.

"Dark tradelane lurker
My camel drinks deeply
Dying transports my Oasis."

All fine and good but I am willing to bet that the rest of the fourms have a Hakiu or an Ode rattling about their insides trying to get out. So here's your chance. Oh don.t worry if the meter is not right, there are no English majors here waiting to grade you just have fun. To start things off here's another Hakiu.

A jumphole ejects me
Schools of Hammerheads await
I pop like a tick.

Oh no not again why me

Countless years I looked
For more of my Privateer
Then came Freelancer

Scrills run up my spine
Running that cool Cardimine
Big Profits my goal

The sands of time glisten
As I live on the friontier
No base to call home

Stranger than pure fiction
My ship upgrade is now near
One more cargo run

Blues skys I long for
Borderworlds forever home
Tau-37!

Orange juice system
Does this ring any bells now?
Omega - 7

Empty space is all
You will find in the Unknowns
There are no Nomads.

Race track in Dublin
Not much more to it I fear
Just watch sticky mines

Diamond runs are kewl
Run like the winds and be safe
Otherwise only death

Who needs Clan comfort
I go wherever fate leads
I am Freelancer

I dream of Malta
A pretty system agreed?
Home away from home

Hours spent testing
Much too many to recall
Worth every minute

I dream of days past
Few pilots would I see...but
The pilgrim Kochese

There's a color storm
on a full big nebula dream.
'Cos space is no black.

Many Bandits surround me
weapons mericilessly pound me
Welcoming tradelane pulls me in.

This poem is the best. No its not a haiku. Its just a poem

The night was dark
The sky was blue
Around the corner
The gunk wagon flew

A bump was hit
A scream was heard
A man was killed
By a flying turd

although i dont think this has to do with freelancer. but when your a drunk ewok like me you cant really tell the difference and you really dont care at all.

Cheers!

And now an analysis of Drunk Ewocks poem for it's deep freelancer meanings.

The night was dark
The sky was blue
{This means that the tale took place in the Gallieo System}

Around the corner
{Reppari Bend}

The gunk wagon flew
{A Sammura Drone with a cargo of toxic waste, Or maybe Bannana flavored food rations}

A bump was hit
{Hacker Patrol}

A scream was heard
{Opps no more Drone}

A man was killed
{Before the drone went down, it took a hacker craft with it.}

By a flying turd
{Obviously a referance to a toxic waste hauling Drone if I ever heard one}

This poem is told to Hacker children to instruct them to become better pliots . The children will chant the poem whilst paying games of low Gee tag. I am sure this is where Drunk Ewock heard this poem.

Radiation damage warning
Neutron star is closing
How I hate Omega-41

Nomads all around me
The pink ships scorching me
Cruise engines engaged

This is great! Not to be a snob, but just information, Haiku is three lines of 5, then 7, then 5 again, syllables. Poetry however, is anything.

Outcast Sabres come,
my Crusader is too weak.
I shall s**k the void.

Puny missle flys,
I laugh , secure behind shields.
Sunslayer strikes home.
