Poetry à la Poptropica 🪶

LJ

Yo Poptropicans! LJ here with a new post. How are y’all today? (Read that intro again. It’s basically a haiku. 😉)

Waterfalls: Follow this stream of consciousness.

A haiku, in my own words, is a traditional Japanese poem made up of 17 syllables spread across three lines. The structure requires that the syllables are arranged in a particular format: the first line contains 5 syllables, the second line has 7, and the final line returns to 5.

I was feeling sort of poetic recently while also feeling nostalgic for Poptropica’s glory days as I pretty much always am, so I decided to manifest that energy and take the time to write a bundle of haikus. In case the poems don’t convey enough, I also included an aesthetic graphic for each one, all made by me. I hope you enjoy!

🍄 Scattering pieces 🍄
🍄 The sad loss of all magic 🍄
🍄 Heedless conquering 🍄

🌸 Elite ninja skills 🌸
🌸 Sakura and bonsai trees 🌸
🌸 Chaos in beauty 🌸

🧟 Rising from the grave 🧟
🧟 Exploring each spooky room 🧟
🧟 The party begins 🧟

🌌 A man turned cyborg 🌌
🌌 Trio of lost chevaliers 🌌
🌌 One epic battle 🌌

🍭 Gaggle of rugrats 🍭
🍭 Lots of sour surprises 🍭
🍭 Savor the sweet gifts 🍭

🎡 Cometh the funfair 🎡
🎡 Angst and dread loom over the city 🎡
🎡 Secrets are revealed 🎡

🐖 Earliest village 🐖
🐖 Help out the 8-bit pilgrims 🐖
🐖 Three missing items 🐖

⚡ Into the dream realm ⚡
⚡ Unravel threads of evil ⚡
⚡ A giant shocker ⚡

What are your thoughts? Poetry isn’t really my forte, and as far as I can recall, I’ve never written this many haiku in one go ━ so they might not be top-notch. Still, I had a blast creating them, and I may just write even more. If you’re feeling inspired, let your creativity flow and share your own Poptropica haiku in the comments! I can’t wait to see what you come up with. Until next time…

Pop on! 🍀

Howdy, Poptropicanos, my name is LJ! I’ve been playing Poptropica for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been blabbing about it here on the PHB for over 8 years. Wowie, the time sure goes by fast when you’re having fun. Beyond the realm of Poptropica, some of my hobbies include drawing, taking long strolls, collecting way too many cool things I don’t have room for, creating unique characters, and letting my imagination run wild in my daydreams. In real life, I tend to be pretty extremely shy, but online, I’m usually bursting with cheerful energy. Don’t be afraid to chat me up in the comments or on the PHC. Also, follow my IG and DeviantArt if you wanna! -Gravatar icon by me! -Background by napstachill

      1. Spot on! If one good thing came out of the move to Coolmath Games, it’s that the paywalls are gone.

      2. I got one!

        It is really cold

        Sadly, our friend does not help

        It’s based on a book

        (yeah… that wasn’t very good… I’ve never wrote a haiku)

      1. I thought I’ll wait for more guesses, but it doesn’t seem like anyone else is responding. So yeah, you’re both right it is Nabooti!

What's popping, Poptropicans?
