Not a haiku-
Starting out go is quite daunting
The expert plays are haunting
I do not know what they’ll do!
They know what i’m going to…
To the center!
Too hard to take
Take the corner!
They got me in a snake
Invasion!
it’s hard to fend off
My territory?
None! Soft!
A ddk I am i say
Weak I do but continue to play
A ddk I will stay
But a few digits lower I will say
This slow improvement like a poison
Wearing down my rank like a noise
Penetrating the wall and penetrating the brain
Grace, Poise
A silent ddk learning the ploys
Invasion! Net!
Not done learning yet!
Manual scoring
small cut scores
Manuals, boring!
Lets continue to play!
DDK today
DDK tomorrow
Let’s meet eachother on the battle field on the morrow!

Nice, I get five stones.
パチ, パチ, oops, I’m dead.
The joy of Igo.
パチ = “pachi”, as used in Hikaru no Go for the sound of a stone hitting the board.

Is there a Limerick thread? I tried to think of one after reading the lovely haiku
A young three kyu from West Hampstead
Enjoyed playing Go from his bunk bed
With Tesuji in place
Phone fell on his face
He lost an eye and is now dead

There was also this poetry thread, in which I burned myself out writing hiakus: Christmas Go Haiku Challenge

That’s pretty clever, but you know, a real limerick has to be obscene, which wouldn’t quite be suitable for this family friendly site.

A new move is played
The pleasure and pain of Go
Didn’t see that one

Black and white stones
Time waits for no king or soldier
Moves must be made

That’s not a haiku,
It should go five-seven-five
Yours goes four-eight-four

Stunning exercise
of pedantic gatekeeping
via your haiku
If we must be strict
remember the season and
juxtaposition

Let alone the fact
That pronounced in Japanese
Ha-i-ku is three

Deep and simple is
so much more essential than
shallow and complex

A TPK is a new soul
With the innocence of youth
And bad at counting

On a goban
A cherry blossom falls
Nor black nor white
Season is there
But counting and juxtaposition
Is a battle lost

I see what you did there too!
But on purpose!?
