Haiku Contest: Poll #2

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:
Silently Watchful
Ready to Defend my life
Should the need Arise

#2:
Evanescent beast
Prowling the walls of Zul'drak
Behold Gondria

#3:
Prey sighted ahead
Spirit Beast lopes at my side
THIS is true freedom

#4:
There he stands, King Krush,
My heart beats vigorously,
A most royal tame.

#5: Humar
He rests peacefully
Beneath the Joshua tree
Truly king of beasts

#6:
Floating On The Breeze
As They Glow and Glide With Ease
Sporebat Expertise

#7:
Enter, I will not
Wolf mine, Fenrir, feeding needs
Haiku, hard is

#8:
a feral druid
would make an excellent pet
but a wolf will do

#9:
must I use my wolf?
I have this kick-ass turtle,
no furious howl
