Rockets from the darkness fly
I hold X and pray

My firotech gun,
Is in need of a replace.
Flamethrower melt face!

Once, as they huddle
Scorchers, Menders, and Demos
Slain by one blade

I am Spiral Knight.
Thwack! Thwack! Coin! Thwack! Thwack! Thwack! Coin!
Gremlins sell good stuff!

Gremlins around you
Bullets come, dodge them all
Got hit by a wrench
Tedming
Gremlin merchant spies
Sells poor equipment and lies
Then grins as we die.

Explosion echoes
Another wave of Rockets.
They had to make two...

Past countless missiles
Prepared to strike down the twins
Oh god lag I'm dead

Gremlins have arrived.
Enter the Haven Bazaar,
They will be waiting.
The-Unbeatable
Where two gremlins twine:
A place sublime and divine,
What is to occur?
thezeronumber
With shady conduct,
"View our wares, curious one"
The sly Gremlins snarl.
Thunderboltz
Do not be afraid
These gremlins bring goods for sale
Lay down your crowns now
Thunderbunz
Six star sword, you say?!
I'll buy it! Wait… just a fake.
Need more Scam Resist...

Gremlin barbecue

Ironclaw crisis
Blast surrounding munitions
Fireworks await

Ironclaws for hire!
Eligible if skilled at:
Bombs; Heals; Thwacks; Scorching.

In the factory
Mischievous eyes before me,
But treasure, I seek

Bazaar in the sun
Do two new merchants sell? Thwack!

The Ironclaws send their spies

Swing shiny swords at gremlin!
Then looks up at…Thwack!
Spiral Fun-ku Outtakes
The entire Spiral Community had fun tossing non-competition haiku, including staff and judges...
Armorjack
Cicadas and ants,
Butterflies and the silkwings,
Crown loss and lockout!
Dogrock (Slave Labor)
Gremlins beneath feet
Sounds of industry echo
What do they prepare?
Spy intel arrives
Radio transmits static
What beast makes that noise?
A name, "Roarmulus"
The decipher team instructs
"Needs more test subjects"
More chatter is heard
Are those shouts of volunteers?!
Knights shudder in wait
Copy-paste all day
The keys V and C wear down
All day erry day yeah!
Bumbity bump bump
A thread you should recognize
Maybe this will work
Drmchsr
I don't know if The
Good General Patton Approves
Of Gremlins in Haven
But All I Know Is
The fastest route to The Core
Is Through The Factory
"Onwards, Knights!" Patton
would say. "The quickest way home
is through Ironworks!"
Hearing those words, I grab
my Faust and Vog Cub Suit, and
entered Ironworks
Alas, my love, it was
Not to be! A Mender came and
Shot off my poor knee!
As I lay dying, with
my last breath, I silently cursed
General Patton.
Those Gruesome Gremlins!
Their aim: Roast Snipe for Mealtimes!
Boswick, go get them!
Eurydice (Spiral Staff)
Haiku contest judge?
Iceni, I'd be honored!
Awaiting beauty...

Dogrock missed entries.
Griffy harasses Dogrock.
Dogrock says brain fart.
Dogrock goofed again.
There are two G's on Wiki.
Griff is mindboggled.

I am impressed by
Your splendid imagery and
Crazy haiku skillz
Inhanzt
Poetry is lame
W T F is a haiku

Writing a haiku
I can't think of syllables
These stupid haikus
Other Spiral Knights
Please go die in a fire
So I get your heat
Disqualify me
mine are not about gremlins
and I posted four
Raspberry (reply to Inhanzt)
Yours resemble trolls
Tad uglier than gremlins
Love the zen thinking
Jesse Henning (facebook)
Spiral Knights Haiku?
You can't make me make one up.
Wait, hang on. Dammit!
Kilrain
Xenophobia
Everywhere in this thread;
Poor gremlin merchants.

Lots of explosions?
Michael Bay must be down there
In the gremlin forge
Kuritaro
The bomb is now set
like the mirthful smile I wear
what a blast this is!
Scheming, "Love" Puppy
finds reverse psychology,
the cruelest technique
Though we covet coin,
you can keep your gold monsters.
No thank you, we say
Matthew Ku (facebook)
In the gloaming woods
Snarbolax awaits the knights,
Plotting their demise.
Morpholomew
Sell me some ammo
Please new merchant, sell me some!
I need it so bad
Wait, what’s what? Oh no!
Your face is no Stranger, no!
Gremlins all around!
Why - how - are they here
Are we dead? Not yet, not yet
Tenderfoot friendly
What is this surprise?
Gremlin good, Gremlin bad, or
Gremlin spy backstab?
Ironclaw or Darkfang?
A Thwack-mend-scorcher gangbang?
Die with demo bang!
Nearo
I like how people
are abbreviating words
amusing it is
Parvus
Darkfang flamers come
This floor once cold is blazing
3 caps aren't enough
Deconstruction zone
O no here we go again
Fodder for gremlins
Radish
All work and no play.
Building contructs through the night.
Built strong. Built to fight.
Blood, oil, sweat, and tears.
Crafting, building, filled with fears.
Fighting for our lives.
Menders, please spread out!
Bombers, run around and shout!
Go forth! Have no doubt!

Gremlin scorcher love
Summer heat wave danger rooms
Singed knight jumps in pond
Flogging continues
Whip, whip, work, work all day long
The slaves need a break
Slave labor Dogrock
Mumbles copy paste haiku
Need more Mountain Dew
No knights will be harmed
In the production of this...
Film at eleven
Redten
Those stupid bombers
Dropping land mines like hot cakes
Fill em' with holes, mates
Big King Tinkinzar
And his nasty gremlin crew
What you gonna do?

With his army of gremlins
Ready to destroy...

Just for fun, of course.
I love that merchant so much.
Greatest shop ever.

Clockworks hum behind
patter of feet, Gremlin laughs.
See you soon Haven.

Bright red eyes in the shadows
Pure white fangs flashing
