Haiku Contest: Poll #1

Unread post by Mania »

Because we have lots of entries for the haiku contest, we will be doing multiple polls for the first round and a run-off between those winners for the second round.

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:
  1. Don't judge on spelling and punctuation. Judge on the emotion that the haiku inspires in you.
  2. Discussion is fine, but please do be polite if you offer a critique. These are works of the heart!
  3. 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! ;)
Remember, if you're here as a visitor and you'd rather not create a forum account, you can e-mail me at mania@maniasarcania and I will add your vote to the tally.

====================

#1:
They dance on the wind
Young gods that spit sapphire bolts.
Electrifying

#2:
I travel the land
My Pet Amiir by my side
And bow on my back

#3:
Hound of fire and ice
Demonic companion
The Vargul Blighthound

#4:
Such a plain old cat
Broken Tooth fast as a flash
How I miss you so

#5:
Storm-shroud she entered
My dearest Arikara
Thunder of my heart

#6:
Grim Totems Are Near
As The Ghosts Of Wolves Appear
Time Is All You Fear

#7:
Lovely white Tiger
left alone in the stable,
while Wolf comes on raids.

#8:
Skoll gives chase to prey
Gun roars with fire and thunder
Life wanes, crimson snow
