Nine Haiku about Oracles

[yendi]

Big-ass gold statues.
Jak gives them Precursor Orbs,
Gets back power cells.

Larry Ellison
Has lots and lots of money,
And a big ego.

All-knowing matron
Teaches children about spoons
And helps Keanu.

The month after Arch
As per the Zork Calendar.
Is that too geeky?

Rich Warren Buffet,
Oracle of Omaha.
Seldom makes mistakes.

Pinna - outer ear -
Sure, it’s not an oracle.
But it sounds like one.

Joker shoots Batgirl.
Soon she comes to realize,
Knowledge is power.

Zelda on Gameboy!
The oracles get kidnapped.
Thus the plot begins.

Ancient prophetess
Held the future of millions
In her able hands.


(No, not really a serious attempt to join the ongoing meme. But the seventh one popped into my head a few days ago, and I figure that today's the day to do something not-so-serious.)

Well done! An excellent beginning to National Poetry Month!

Darlin', you crack me up. :)

Awesome, but does the middle line of the last one not have eight syllables?

"Held the fu-ture of mil-li-ons"

[yendi]

Nope -- "Mil-yuns." Two syllables. :-)

Ah hah - a local pronunciation, I am guessing! ;-p
