Alrighty! Winners are in!
I've decided upon three winners, each for a specific category.
Parody: Tristam, for taking upon my enthusiasm to help people get Haiku'ing right.
Comedy: Fauna, for her rather amusing Haiku about her ample bosoms.
Serious: BlackAndBlueEyes for beautifully capturing a moment in the true essence of a Haiku without violence.
Congratulations to the winners!

The event I've prepared for you lucky lads and lasses is the following:
Write a Haiku either describing or about your character!
The reward for the winner is 1 Fate Point! I'll be judging this and selecting my favorite as the winner.
A haiku, for those whom are not familiar, is an Asian form of poem or lyric
formed by a total of 17 syllables, built together in the form of 5-7-5.
I have provided my own example as follows:
______
Tasty dragon snack
small sweet delicious and moist
crunchy crunchy crunch
______
To better illustrate the form of a Haiku, I have broken it down into a simplified form.
With each syllable separated in a word by a hyphen.
Ta-sty dra-gon snack (5)
small sweet de-lic-ious and moist (7)
crunch-y crunch-y crunch (5)
Haikus' do not have to have punctuation, it is the choice of the writer and his or her personal opinion whether such is required!
