The first round will last until midnight EDT on Thursday, March 25th. The run-off poll will last until midnight EDT on Sunday, March 28th. (Times are approximate, since I'm forgetful and often lazy.)
A couple of quick notes:
- Don't judge on spelling and punctuation. Judge on the emotion that the haiku inspires in you.
- Discussion is fine, but please do be polite if you offer a critique. These are works of the heart!
- I've decided in my role as arbitrator that the entries listed here are valid. I've been a bit lenient with syllables in some cases, but I can justify all my decisions. So there!

They dance on the wind
Young gods that spit sapphire bolts.
Electrifying

I travel the land
My Pet Amiir by my side
And bow on my back

Hound of fire and ice
Demonic companion
The Vargul Blighthound

Such a plain old cat
Broken Tooth fast as a flash
How I miss you so

Storm-shroud she entered
My dearest Arikara
Thunder of my heart

Grim Totems Are Near
As The Ghosts Of Wolves Appear

Lovely white Tiger
left alone in the stable,
while Wolf comes on raids.

Gun roars with fire and thunder
Life wanes, crimson snow
