One question: Can it be haiku?
I would think not because they are usually about nature.
CURSES~! Foiled again.

I suppose it would have made more sense to set some guidelines eh? In answer to your question, no it cannot be a haiku. Secondly Mr. Lv. 50, it must be in the form of a poem, not a prose.
Basic guidelines:
Abba form
No swear words (keep it positive)
Use correct punctuation and grammar (no misspelled words)

The place was called Sandy,
we were bored one day,
Zoop and Killakang
decided to play.
Zoop was standing by the Mog House,
And Killakang with a level 1 job.
Hilop had no idea that Killakang was coming
pretending to be poisoned by a Gob!
"Quick Cure him!!" I said
But it was was too late!
Hilop had killed Killakang.
so started the debate.
"How did he die?" asks a passerby.
"He let him drop" Zoop points to Hilop.
"But I didn't know!" Hilop goes.
"I was running around.." Killakang said from the ground.
Another White Mage who was running by
casted Raise on this bearded Hume guy.
"That is a lot better!" cheered Killakang!
"I don't understand, but it won't happen again"
A few moments later Killakang was running low on HP
Hilop spotted the dieing warrior and casted Cure III
But while he was casting he was toasted with jelly,
Killakang had endend up laying on his own belly.
It wasn't his fault! He isn't to blame!
"Hilop" is not a murderouse name!
"If you want to stop making that die-ing motion...
Killakang stop drinking that poison potion!"
A few good laughes were had that day.

The man at the Stables said she could ride.
Her {Mithra} {excitement} she could not hide.
From Jeuno to bastok, the wind in her hair,
Her low-level friends did jealously stare.
Her Chocobo Liscense she had acquired!
Bringing along the quick travel times she desired!
But woe to her after a Teleport-Dem,
Prices too high for her to afford them!
"two-thousand gil" The attendant demanded,
With a /slap and a /sh "Chocobos be damnded!!"
but with the help of a Paladin, willing to tank,
She managed to get to Bastok's Fifth rank!
Chocobos behind her, through the skies she rides,
On Airships, with a smile, The Mithra Samurai Gides!

/bow And that's that... If it wins, kewl! but if not, 's all good...

(After my haiku setback...)
Three pals, three friends
Three buds of the highest caliber
Tight as tight comes since the knights of the round
And the one who held the Excaliber
In Bastok they stared and wondered and dreamt
And pursued that great beyond
Adventure calling, they strode into the dark
Blades ready, nerves steeled, armor donned.
Through the mines, through the tunnel
Varmits and beastmen did fall
Into the desert they swarmed, blinking back the light,
Jaws unhinged and fell slack in awe
Altep here, so alive
Sands shifting ceaselessly
Only pure heat, sun shining,
Wonder wherever the eye could see.
Moving forward, moving swiftly,
The goal in the back of their minds
They fought through, battles draining,
Ensuring no man would be left behind.
Brightly glinting, goal seen
At last the blue familiar light
Resolved strengthened, they battle through
For this reward they'll live and fight
They reach, and take, and grin
And return from whence they came
Altep crystal in their pockets
Ensures they'll return to this desert again.

*ahem* A blatant rip from "O Captain, My Captain" I present....
O Poki! My Poki!
O Poki! My Poki! The ferry trip's just begun;
In the ship's hull, a giant crack, Waters pooring in, just no fun;
Selbina is close, shouts in Valkurm I hear, the gobs, people training,
But lo, the Sea Monk pops near, the weather grim and raining
He runs! Flee! Flee!
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Poki lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
O Poki! My Poki! The white mage casts Raise;
Rise up—please do, our hellish trip almost through,"Oh no" Poki cries;
For you, a Sea Monks wrath—for you a tentacles lash;
For you he came, his massive mass, you die as he laughs;
Here Poki! Dear Poki!
Your hand to your head;
It must be a dream, that on the deck,
You’ve fallen cold and dead.
My Poki cries in /tell, he mopes and he whines;
He doesn't like this boat, his eyes full of tears and grime;
The ship pulls up to the dock, its voyage full of death and fear;
Another Mage, another Raise, come up you do with exulted praise;
Run to thee, O shores, and seek for parties!
But I, with weeping dread,
The worst deaths lie,
In these dunes ahead.

That should win.
Can't we talk a while?
Can't you /smile?
Can't you stay for a jest?
Can't you /rest?
Can you play without a net?
Can I have it?
Can you party without invite?
Please use simple words. All right!
We were going to Crawler's Nest not to farm, not to rest.
We were going to Garlaige Citadel not to talk, not to tell.
When was my favorite experience in Final Fantasy ex-aye? (XI)
It was with you, my party, my pals, and my guy.

This is the poem I had on my picture on ffxiplayers.com for the longest time. Most people complained about the text being too small before so here it is:
There’s so much beauty in the world tonight.
Looking up, 60 miles of light just to lead me home.
Take another puff and crush the embers,
I can hear the angels singing from here.
Like I’m on the verge of a fatal battle,
Knowing this could be it.
The factory’s storm rolls past,
Filling the whole sky and my lungs.
Its dismal clouds brighten this world tonight.
30 minutes and I’ll be where I belong.
Coils burn and more smoke fills my lungs.
Ready to rest on this holiest of nights.
Fellow wanderers gather around me,
I’m not alone, and I never was.
You really just have to watch where you’re going,
Or you might not ever see them there.
Just looking above for the sign now, and I’ll be on my way.
Turning back now would be a waste.
My body cools, the wind rushes past.
Fateful journey here at last.
Hope you enjoyed ^^ ~Aet

...Now I remember what I was talking about!
I remember being invited to a party going to kill the Windy Dragon as an early-twenty-something BLM. I followed the party out there but when we got to the BC i couldn't get in. The party didn't disband me though. I watched the whole battle from the chat box. It sounded GREAT! I could only imagine them taking down the beast. Then when they were done I got all of the drops, which I thought were awesome at the time! Then when the party didn't immediately reappear I walked off. I got lost in Giddeus! lolol! When I finally did meet the dragon face to face it was everything and more of what I was imagining that day. Good times!

I once remember when I was a newbie.
There was this jerk that just screwed me!
All I wanted was to level white mage,
the guy was so impatient, I was enraged!
Pulling high levelled Pugils here and there,
I had no MP, but he didn't care!
Then the schmuck just let me die,
Said it was all my fault, I wanted to cry!
The worst of it all I delevelled,
All my equipment fell off I was beshevelled!
But the schmo promised to find me a Raise,
He left the party, I layed there for a few Vana'diel days.
So here I was, dead Mithra in the nude,
When all I could think was "How rude!"
Sprawled out on the Sarutabartua plane,
As I saw the green Windysday moon wane.
When along came this player named Seeder.
He turned out to be a great teacher!
He gave me a Raise,
The I gave him /praise!
I told him about my little hardship,
And with that it started our friendship!
All that afternoon, he power levelled me!
That's how a met Seeder, and that's my story.
