Amon Hen

Swift feet over hills
Soft mud squelching underfoot
Halflings make good meals.

Shagrat swings his sword
another head falls in mud

Fun!

Many marching feet
Created by Saruman
They destroy all life.
 


Posted by ae (Member # 3291) on :
 
No, no! It's a joke, see?


Assembly at Isengard

Forest of black steel
Thund'rous voice from balcony
Saruman looks gay.


Seige

Countless pounding feet
Walls of grey stone are no shield
Forward Uruk-SQUISH.

Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :
 
We fear no day light
White Hand is no Onanism
We are Urukai

Goblins are our slaves
Sauron breeds none who can touch us
We are Urukai

Helms Deep, not that deep
We can throw your dwarves back to you
We are Urukai

One thing to make clear!
White Hand is no onanism
We get no respect.
 


Posted by advice for robots (Member # 2544) on :
 
We look death in face
Men run from our fell glance, but

"Aragorn"
Stubble on his face
He chops us up with a sword
It's long and pointy


"Legolas"
Uruk-hai look ugly
Not like dreamboat Legolas
He's one real hot elf

Sunburned Uruk-Hai
They didn't put on sunblock
besides the white hand.

We are the fighting
Uruk-Hai! Twenty of us
Lose to just one guy.

I left my arm in
Amon Hen. I would like to
Have it back again.

Got my head cut off
By Aragorn. Told him it
Was just a flesh wound.

We chopped down trees. Some
Environmentalists came,
Stomped us flat. Darn Ents!

Let’s play hide-and-seek.
Where are you, little halflings?
Aha! We caught you!

We are strong and brave.
Look, little guys throwing rocks!
They have knocked us out.

Over the river
And through the woods to find some
Hobbit with a ring.

Ten thousand foot-pounds
That is the work needed to
Climb the Deeping Wall.

White hand, flaming eye
We work for guys with body
Parts as their mascots.

And as a sequel to my last haiku:

An alliance ‘twixt
Orthanc and Barad-dur: Eye-
Hand coordination?

 


Posted by Shigosei (Member # 3831) on :
 
Whee, this is fun!


Saruman the White
Is looking rather dingy.
Must be all the smoke.

I carry the torch!
Olympians have more fun
They do not blow up.

We are the Uruks.
You will be hacked to pieces.
Resistance: futile.

Will Rohan survive?
Quoth the Uruk, “Nevermore.”
“No dawn comes for men.”

We are the stealthy
Uruk-Hai. Our footsteps can
Be heard far and wide.

Saruman said we
Would taste man-flesh; all we got
Were lousy halflings.

What kind of weapon
Is this L-shaped iron thing?
Surely not a sword!

My face, only a
Mother could love. Sadly I
Don’t have a mother.

Our armor is strong!
Then why do elves kill us with
One arrow? Cheat codes!

(From Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli’s point of view)

Rohirrim killed orcs,
All we got was this lousy
Orc head on a stick.

I always wanted
to have another hand but

Saruman's white hand
Is upon our ugly heads
We are so unique.

Ten thousand of us
Cannot beat three hundred men.

Sauruman "the White"
shrouded now in rainbow hue
commands his legions

Aloft in Orthanc
white hand grasping greedily
the shadow spreads far

Breeding new evil
commanding his Uruk-hai
mighty fighters fierce.

Stupid little dwarf
Violently hewing with axe
Why do short guys win?

Spilling off the bridge
How come they get the horses?
Life is just not fair

Legalos is cheap
He never, ever misses
Turn off aimbot, please

Gandalf is too bright
Making us all look away
Ouch, he whacked my head!

Orcish warriors
Waxing poetic is bad
Ai! Now my ears hurt

Being an orc stinks
We never get a shower
Ugh... my nose it burns

The diaries of an orc:

Journal Entry One:
We started to march away
To Helm's Deep I'm told

Journal Entry Two:
Passed through the Gap of Rohan
Bought some better clothes

Journal Entry Three:
We arrived at Deeping Wall
Must prepare for fight

Journal Entry Four:
The battle failed terribly
Curse the evil horse!

This is the funniest thing I've read so far...
Sample:

HELM'S DEEP

LEGOLAS: This is going to be most unpleasant. Hundreds of people will die.

ARAGORN: Thank you, Captain Obvious.

LEGOLAS: You're just jealous because I'm pretty.

ARAGORN: You're just jealous because I'm going to be king.

LEGOLAS: You can bite my @ss.

ARAGORN: Hey, blow me.

(Ten minutes later)

LEGOLAS: I didn't mean that.

ARAGORN: It's okay. Me neither.

LEGOLAS: Kiss and make up?

ARAGORN: How about I squeeze your shoulder in a very special way?

ITHILIEN

SAM seasons their rabbit stew as GOLLUM watches.

GOLLUM: Ssstupid fat hobbit! Using sage in stew like thisss!

SAM: What's your problem? Sage brings out the flavor.

GOLLUM: Smeagol would use nice mix of rosemary and lavender, yess, precious.

FRODO: Hey, you guys? Something's out there in the forest.

SAM: Rosemary? Hm, maybe. But you know what WOULD be good with this, is a basic bechamel sauce with some dill.

GOLLUM: Sssimple hobbit; anyone makesss bechamel. Vichyssoise much tastier and more difficult; yes...

FRODO: Hello? Guys? Seriously, someone's coming.

SAM: Now, if you only found us some eggs, I could make crepes, wrap up the meat, drizzle the juices over it with a little bit of blackcurrant chutney...

FRODO: Hey, you guys, look! It's Martha Stewart!

GOLLUM: Where?

SAM: Where?

FRODO: Now that I have your attention, may I point out the Oliphaunt that's about to step on us?

FARAMIR: Look! Strange little men! Let's take them home.

FARAMIR blindfolds SAM and FRODO and hauls them away.


For more idiotically funny things go here and laugh your butt off.

Amon Hen

I fight that ranger
He swings his great mighty sword
My head goes flying


Helm's Deep

Hah! Ten thousand Orcs
Beating weapons on ground. Thwup!
An arrow kills me

Yes indeed it does!
At last count, in fact, I had
Twenty-eight to go.

(To 1K, of course.
Oh, and I apologise
For the OT posts.)

(Not to mention that
Multi-stanza haiku are
Spawn of the devil.)

In penitence I
Scribble down a piece of crap
On LotR:

Haldir

Poncy elven twit
Short attention span means you'll
Likely die to orcs.

silly people who
let this thread slip so far down
don't let it die *bump*

I can't believe that
all we wear is brown and grey

Posted by Steel (Member # 3342) on :
 
I know this isn't haiku, or mine, but I'll compensate for that.

"Gandalf, Gandalf! Take the ring!
I am too small to carry this thing!"

"I can not, will not hold the One.
You have a slim chance, but I have none.
I will not take it on a boat,
I will not take it across a moat.
I cannot take it under Moria,
that's one thing I can't do for ya.
I would not bring it into Mordor,
I would not make it to the border."

-excerpt from Dr. Suess's FOTR.

And now my Uruk-Haiku:

We can't stop horses?
Even when we have long pikes?
They have strong magic.

The blinding light comes!
Damn, I can't see their soldiers!
Stupid Rohan Men.

I like to eat things!
But they say we have no food...
Let's eat the halflings!
 


Posted by Mr.Funny (Member # 4467) on :
 
Poetic Uruks
Have great imagination
See the great posting?

Becoming knocked out
Is just a stone's throw away
We hate the halflings

Sarumon is wise
He sends us off to our doom
We thank him for that

How come no looting?
We enjoy that part the best
Sarumon is mean

Run across Rohan
Carrying our heavy load
Hobbits eat too much

Here come the riders
Don't let our captives escape!
Die, Eomer, Die!

Ouch we have been killed
And the hobbits have escaped
We have failed badly

Why must we fight on?
Why can we not stay at home
And make poetry

We are strong Orcs
How come we still can be killed
With just one arrow?

Posted by Mr.Funny (Member # 4467) on :
 
The thread is slipping
Must bump it up to the top
Ahh, that is better

I am Saruman
I created the Uruks
They do what I say

If I say to run
They run around very fast
It is fun to watch

If I tell them to
Attack Rohan, they do it
I give the orders

If I say, "Give me
Cheese," they run off in search of
Some Cheez-itz crackers

They follow my wish
My Uruks are so faithful
And they are cheap too
 


Posted by ae (Member # 3291) on :
 
Sorry to nit-pick
But multi-stanza haiku
Is not true haiku.
 
Posted by Scott R (Member # 567) on :
 
I wrote two verses,
Not one. Unmarried, they are
Though placed together.
 
Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :
 
how many
syllables
per haiku line?

(for a correct haiku)
 


Posted by jehovoid (Member # 2014) on :
 
Mordor orcs can't count.
Uruk-Hai are true poets.
White hand holds a pen.
 
Posted by Dragon (Member # 3670) on :
 
BannaOj, for it
to be right - needs five, seven,
five, syllables /line

In theroy, unlike these,
the phrases are not broken
- right is very hard

Hey! Dumb elf chopped my head off
Anyone got tape?

There is a glowing elf
He jumps all pretty like on horsie
He shoots me with bow
 
Posted by Rhaegar The Fool (Member # 5811) on :
 
A depresent blonde
A sharp and dangerous blade
This will not be good

I pity the orcsies

It takes many hours
to come up with good poems
and I lack the time.

Sorry...

One thing to make clear!
White Hand is no onanism
We get no respect.

Size of tree trunks, still takes 9

Now that ROTK is out...

This is our tactic
At the fields of Pelennor:
Try to get a head.

It is quite unfair
To make us fight the dead ones.
They are hard to kill!

For three days running
No food: Hungry dwarves will eat
Spiced leaves: "Ach! Orc blood!"

I do not wish to
Seem less manly than the elf
MY beard is bigger!

Uruk-Haiku page -
I see that you have been bumped!
It is but a tease.

AJ, how could you!
I anticipate more fun
But see only "*bump*"

No new haiku here!
I guess it is up to me
to amuse myself.

Could Orcs turn to good?

For Sale in Mordor
One black tower: somewhat us'd
Who will inhabit but Orcs?

Orcs could plant garden
Grow green around Black tower
Vast soil improvement
 
Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :
 
Tower twined with Vines
Now green, was formerly black
Guess where Entwives were?

Was trying to amuse
Guess Vana quit reading
Was fun regardless

I didn't stop reading! Just got a little caught up in work (me working? amazing!) and hadn't gotten back here yet.

Thanks, AJ! You're great. [Smile]

(Dang it, I can't get a good haiku together about the White Tree and the Endangered Species Act. Anyone else want to try?)
 
Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :
 
White tree is dying:
Another thing to wipe off the
"Endangered" list.

'species act' doesn't fit! I guess that's where you had problems.

ON Sam and Frodo, Merry and Pippen

Pretty young hobbits
But they were all middle aged
In Tolkien's great book
 
Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :
 
Funnily enough
that's because they axed some years
right after Bilbo left.

Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :
 
counting syllables
shows a lack of faith and trust
but I do it too.

EDIT:

I have just noticed
my dental haiku up top.
what was I thinking?

This may sound kind of silly, but I thought it was worth asking.

Would anyone mind if I borrowed a couple of these? My student newsletter is in dire need of filler (mid-term season).

Thanks. [Smile]

I should write my draft
Instead I am posting here
And wasting my time

Haiku was never my strong point.
 
Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :
 
Take mine if you wish
They are weak and lack polish
Like Bilbo Baggins
 
Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :
 
Me, I do not mind
But I posted this because
Haiku's addictive.

EDIT:
Two tiny Uruk
Ignoring the call to arms;
They must be Hobbits

Already out then?

Posted by Shigosei (Member # 3831) on :
 
Extended version
Palantir, more Saruman
The Mouth of Sauron!

Houses of Healing,
Eowyn and Faramir
Oh how I love it!
 
Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :
 
You know I feel glad
Whenever I see this thread
On Hatrack's first page.

My heart is weeping
Eowyn and Faramir
Fall deeply in love.

Oops I repeated
The Haiku above my own
I apologise.)

A lesson to learn
Haikus are five, seven, five
Syllables in length
 
Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :
 
Right, Mr Funny
Haiku form is important
Otherwise it fails
 
Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :
 
Many posters though
Prefer a stricter form of haiku
Namely with seasons. [Wink]

Uruk Haiku:

Sometimes I wonder:
Why do we never order
Vegetarian?
 
Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :
 
Vegetarian
No good. Animal better.
Is much tastier.

Bump.

Legendary Uruk children:

We don't want to go
To school today but the lash
is too persuasive.

Uruk children like
The Legendary Ent-Wives
Have gone MIA.

This thread so deserves
Yet another appearance
On the front pages. [Smile]

I love how this thread
is full of movie longing
and its share of angst.

It strikes me funny
that many of our poems
are about the films.

I also think it's
hilarious that I am
posting in haiku.
 
Posted by Shigosei (Member # 3831) on :
 
A year is too long.
I will bump this thread right now.
Return to the front!

Hobbits are coming!
New movie means more haikus.
Go Peter Jackson.

My troll friends, so odd
We argue all night. All night?
The sun! No! I'm cold.

Hungover from wine
Not Drinking it. Being it.
The barrel ride sucks.

Bag end is all mine
The wealth, the food, at last, mine.
Who comes down the road?
