Here's my attempt at more original Shadowrun 'art'... Critique at your lesiure (DV8, feel free to post on your site too...)

[align=center]Seattle is nice
in the shadows, burning bright;
SINless getting by
<hr width="50%">
"Water your meat," says
the SysOp kindly from the
Nexus, dumpshock bites
<hr width="50%">
Floating like a drone
in the still, blue sky, Jammers
streaking past the guards
<hr width="50%">
Seulpa Rings
hate the Yaks, but use nuyen
to finance their death
<hr width="50%">

Nicked that for my .sig file from a thread over on ds that was devoted to SR Haiku.

Here are more that I've come up with since yesterday: Some of them might not be all that good. Apparently i get bored easily, and haiku are easier to write than notes on a subject I already know (I hate taking classes like that).

throaty choppers zoom
by, a go-gang's on the streets
ever vigilant
alternate ending: omnipresence
<hr width="50%">
It's 01:15
have you found Kibo, chummer?
Gridsec's found you out
<hr width="50%">
Nearby small-arms fire
it's a turf war on our street
a sprawl lullaby
alternate ending: Barrens living, omae
alternate ending: Pullayup these days
<hr width="50%">
nervous in a suit
a Johnson sits with a drink
no guess who he'll meet
<hr width="50%">
there's a sale on NERPS
at the StufferShack today
Steve would be happy
<hr width="50%">
gillettes sport slick chrome
Chiba City is their doss
man melds with machine
<hr width="50%">
the electron world
resonates with paydata
here the Children thrive
<hr width="50%">
finances are king
nuyen rules the Megacorp world
lost priorities
<hr width="50%">
the Resonance calls
theology cannot hide
the Ghost in the wires
<hr width="50%">
Discordia reigns
within Renraku Arco
Sixth World is not ready
<hr width="50%">
what is BTL
an escape for unused minds
not a substitute
<hr width="50%">
the rain is caustic
megas deflect all the blame
chem-sealed suits en vogue
<hr width="50%">

What does an R&B group have to do with Shadowrun?

Dunno. But better than Madonna I guess.

It's like 'tres chic' or something... it's French for "in style".. thanks for the heads-up DV8
