7+2 Healing Haikus – Keep Your Tanks Alive Through the Power of Poetry

Filed under General WoW Gaming
I can’t exactly remember what inspired me about a Haiku. I was reading up a little bit about Zen. The original idea was me emailing out various healing bloggers for quick one liners on healing tips and lessons for their class.
But then I decided what the heck? Let’s make them work a little bit. How about we convert that wisdom into some haikus for our readers?
MK of dwarfpriest.com
In vanilla WoW
Priests topped the healing. But now?
Out healed by shaman
Kestrel of Kestrel’s Aerie
A frisbee alights
Like the wind it moves again
Joy–the boss is down.
Zerei of Blood Paladin
If you’re deciding
between this upgrade and that,
balance is the key!
Lady Jess of Lady Jess
Zing tank in the head
Renew steadily ticking
Greater heal not flash
Softi of Softthistle’s Spot
H-O-T’s, gotta love
Em. Lifebloom times three and
Rejuv saves my butt!
My own contribution
Your tank is dying
When renew is not enough
Spam flash heal you must
Leafy of Leafshine
Leafshine stacking heals
Always keeping Rejuv up
Or the tank go splat
Kirk of Priestly Endeavors
**Kirk wrote an excellent masterpiece. I’ll post a snippet here.**
Flashes and tones as candles burn
unacceptable green spreads
Past horses and grooms
Ancient love in need redeemed
Weren’t you on main tank?
A special thanks to the contributors =). Feel free to comment with some of your own!
Edit: Here’s one more that I forgot 
Siha of Banana Shoulders
For your safety, mage
Do not pull agro again

I'm Matticus and I play a Dwarf Priest. My home is in Conquest, a raiding Guild that I have founded. Every week, I log 12 hours raiding on Ner'Zhul.
Wynthea is the Troll Priest with the best Mohawk on Firetree. Currently, I raid 4 nights a week in a hardcore guild. I started playing WoW in May 2005, and raiding end-game in May 2007. My guild is currently working through 25-man WotLK content. I've tried playing other classes, but Priests are my passion. I am extremely fond of Dwarves.... especially with Ketchup. 
My name is Sydera and I like to heal things--think Florence Nightingale with foliage. I play a night elf druid on Ner'Zhul, and I raid 12 hours a week. As a guild officer for Conquest, I coordinate healing and recruit new raiders. I started playing WoW in Fall 2005, and it was love at first click. Before I discovered the joys of Broccoli-stalk healing, I raided as a holy paladin, and I now have alts in all healing classes. I have to say, though, bark beats poofy dresses and heavy plate in my book.
great Ku’s! Leafy and Jess’s are my favourites
hehe great post, “A” for originality – nice work all who participated
Hunter tops healing?
I seem to do that a lot
Mend Pet for the win
Healing for the win.
Unless the main tank goes down.
No heals for the lose.
Twalkins likes haikus.
They’re easy and fun to make.
Who needs to make sense?
I’m sorry, really.
I’ll stop with all the haikus.
…after this good one.
A heal for the tank
Pulls aggro and wipes the raid.
So who’s fault is it?
Those are pretty good guys =).
Pike must be going for the +heaing mail gear, I see. ^^
