Using the standard 5-7-5 syllable haiku format, here is my humble series of reviews on Cataclysm content. Enjoy!

Mt. Hyjal
Roll down the mountain
Waking the old and idle
Twilightlydamus

Vashjir
Far beneath the waves
We cannot escape the depths
Where is sea lord gone?

Deepholm
Round and round we go
Chasing the missing pebble
Fat lady watches

Uldum
Join tiresome hero
-- CUT SCENE --
Who's got the camels?

Twilight Highlands
All board the airship
Watch as the two dragons fight
Lets all get married

Molten Front
Druids need our help
My tree is bigger than yours
All i see is fire

Zul'Roics
Old trolls will troll you
Trying to catch a pony
Everybody Dies

Raidfinder
Open the gates to all
Falling backwards to the goal
See how they complain

Archeology
Hunt for lost treasure
Now i wish i was fishing
Digging just to dig

And finally, WOW: Cataclysm
Silly dragon roars
While we stand outside the bank
Nothing else to do

Please submit your cataclysm haikus here!

Great stuff at the start
Soon things started to get nerfed
Wished challenge would last

Another one for Thrall:

Green Jesus needs me
Watch as he saves the whole world
Now he's the daddy

People raced to 85
Then to kill all bosses first
Then wonder they "No More?"

On the P T R
We learn to kill the boss instead
Not test builds for bugs.

On new patch day week,
We pushed. Our progress: too far?
We cleared all bosses.

Blizzard! The angry cry
You made not enough content
For our foolish haste.

Interesting villain I saw
Madness he tried to portray
comical silliness remained

Worgen announced
Cringed? I did indeed
Now, of them I am

(A positive and negative one for balance! I suck at Haikus. :[ )

@OP
Some don't stick to the 5-7-5 rule, but I like how they're written. As I understand, a haiku should include some kind of wit, and ideally a surprise, a pointe, something unexpected or unconventional. After all, it's poetry.

By the way... Would you invite someone into your raid group who can't follow the simple 5-7-5 syllable rule? :p

Rules are there to break
A team needs all together
Don't stand in the fire!

Frequent problem with raid briefings in WoW:

A: Don't stand in the fire!
A: I repeat: Don't stand in the fire on the ground when it appears.
A: Move out of it if it spawns under your feet.
A: All clear?
B: Yes.
A: What should you not do?
B: Hm?
A: What is clear?
B: What do you mean?
A: Did you read what I just wrote?
B: Dude! YES!!! Let's go.
A: So what should you do when there's fire?
B: What fire?!

The start was pretty solid
Then the world was shaken upside down
Now it appears easy

I still like 25man raids
Inside my heart weeps silently in pain
If this continues disbands ensue

I've not had my coffee yet, my apologies.

Abyssal Maw

Glee at the prospects
Only for it to be canned
Sums up the expac

Raid Finder Loot

Don't want to be here
Just boosting Tanks to 4 sets
1 pug gets all gear

Make a haiku thread
It helps with verbosity
Feedback negative

i laughed at this.

I have no idea what Haiku is or what the 5-7-5 stands for.
