Most are these are really creative, but some of you think some words are one syllable, lol.
Oh no, run everyone!
The Grammer Nazi is here!
Run for your lives now!
(j/k :x Did I mess up on any? And which? :o) 6
7
5
Aside from that one, no. Unless it was intentional.
And kind of need to be a grammar nazi for haikus, they follow a specific structure, lol. :/
Ya know, I didn't mean to do 6-7-5 intentionally. I'm just really high on Vicodin from having my wisdom teeth pulled today. But let's just go with I did. D:
Also was just making a joke. :x Sorry for making you ":/" :<

When I used to fish
I spun the stick in circles
Never caught moat carp
Still have a light staff
Don't really need the H.Q.

| | JP FFXI Haiku Contest
...Anyway, there was a reference to the old haiku contest post which I forgot about (was a JP only thing). There were some great ones, so I thought I'd share the five winners. I tried to keep the 5-7-5 syllable thing in the English translations so I made adjustments/additions where necessary.
セルビナで ボギーが去るのを 待つ一夜
Serubina de ~ Bogi ga saru no o ~ Matsu hitoya
Safe in Selbina ~ Until the bogies are gone ~ Waiting overnight
ここ１０年 日記はすでに 攻略本
Koko juunen ~ Nikki wa sude ni ~ Kouryuaku hon
Over these ten years ~ My diary has become ~ A strategy guide
辻レイズ あなたに憧れ 白あげた
Tsuji reizu** ~ Anata ni akogare ~ Shiro ageta
Passers-by, please help! ~ I'm humbly pleading with you ~ Please raise my white mage!
**((There's no obvious literal translation for this - it's an established JP expression referring to someone kindly raising you from outside your party at no cost. Tsuji means like "crossroad" so would refer to someone just passing by. They also have expressions for tsuji-cure, -haste, -protect, -shell, etc.))
ただいまと 帰れる家が もうひとつ
Tadaima to ~ Kaereru ie ga ~ Mou hitotsu
And now, once again ~ I'm back home in Vana'diel ~ Yet another time
((I think this one refers to the Return to Vana'diel thing, that the guy keeps quitting and coming back))
And my personal favorite, by far:
ヴァナ友が 何時の間にやら 我が嫁に
Vana tomo ga ~ Itsunomaniyara ~ Waga yome ni
Vana'diel, my friend ~ Before I even realized ~ You became my bride

FFXI fishermen haiku:
I can not catch anything.
I don't know why I keep trying.
I can not catch anything.
(maybe it's because I am fishing for a quest with quite low skill and poorly chosen equipment. mind me not ...)

These two missed the mark:
辻レイズ あなたに憧れ 白あげた
Tsuji reizu** ~ Anata ni akogare ~ Shiro ageta
Passers-by, please help! ~ I'm humbly pleading with you ~ Please raise my white mage!
aspiring to be like you,
I leveled white mage.
Quote: ただいまと 帰れる家が もうひとつ
Tadaima to ~ Kaereru ie ga ~ Mou hitotsu
And now, once again ~ I'm back home in Vana'diel ~ Yet another time
that upon returning home,
I can say, "I'm home."

Well /playtime is calculated in days/hours, hence the confusion. Why on earth would you multiple those numbers at all? lol

Come on people. Take days multiple by 24 (gets hours played) multiple that by minimum wage.
Edit* Or am i in a state that believes people should get paid slightly more than whatever ridiculous minimum wage actually is?

Dunno where you live that 8 is the minimum wage.
Okay, so I was thinking how creative we can be, and thought of something easy for us to do if people want to join in. I was thinking we can do a Final Fantasy Haiku! Now, I wiki'd "Haiku" and saw there's all sorts of variants compared to it's original form. But, didn't want people to get out of hand. So the common American Haiku rules apply. And have to be Final Fantasy related. Doesn't matter if it's XI/XIV or not.
3 lines, 17 syllables.
Broken up as:

"You get there quicker
Riding on a Chocobo
But, get a butt rash"
