This is fantastic. Should keep me occupied until the rating opens up.

I feel a terrible sense of dread now. The game told me:

PERVERSE FATE FORFEIT HAND
UNEXPECTED POWER WAIT

Awesome game. I only with it showed you the Mandarin characters along with the English translations in the end.

Pretty sure this is telling me to pick up a prostitute.

"FAMILY DOOR STREET
MUSIC BOOK SILVER FAMILY
FRIEND ESCORT SINGLE"

Very original idea! Fun to play with the shapes of the characters.

Pretty cool stuff! Although it doesn't seem like I got any cool ones like everyone else.

It didn't seemed like much for me, I thought I was missing something, but at the end, I made several haikus and I liked it.
Very interesting idea, which could have been magnified by soothing music and peaceful sound effects... which is really hard to do anyway, and nothing is better than unfitting themes.

Escort, snow nose... This Haiku generator seems to have interesting... tastes.

It's a fun little application, and I love you get the kanji/Chinese characters.

Neat. I wish I had a little more control over the writing process, but extremely creative. Just add a bit of music and the ability to see the final poem with the real characters. Great work!

Great game. I actually think mine's pretty deep and probably about massive industrialization:
AGRICULTURE FADE
COLD LANGUAGE NAME LOCATION
SHINE GOOD IRON WEAR

Really interesting, but as you'd imagine, it creates some pretty nonsensical haikus most of the time. I'd share the last one I got, which I liked a lot, but the game ate my cursor and I had to ALT+F4 to get out... Good job though! :)

Ok, that's pretty original :) At first I didn't get what it was, then saw the first result. Super cool idea!
