Commend Haiku

[Warzone Codger]

Admiring quietly
The peaceful lands of Haiku
Flowing gracefully

For over six years
They have written poetry
Uninterrupted

With five seven five
Three phrases in basic prose
They reveal the world

Calm simplicity
Recording all emotions
For a well lived life

For showing wonder
The Security Council
Commends nice Haiku!

Cross posting from the NS forums for discussion and suggestions to make a better haiku.

Haiku is one of my favourite regions. I admire that for at least 6 years (It pre-dates the regional history page), possibly ten (If we trust NS history), members of the region have simply been writing haikus. It's a cute gimmick to keep up and as you read the RMB history (And its 4 years of haiku after haiku) you'll read about births and deaths, travels, studies and jobs as well as in game news and other miscellaneous musings, making for a simple snapshot of life.

As many of you know, I try to highlight the more different ways of playing NS. It's part of my belief that the SC, when rewarding commends/condemns we try give equal importance to all areas of the game. (It's a darn shame Luna's original commend for repealed and any other person never succeeded in being commended for issues....but that's another story)
