Kially Challenge One - The Haiku! The winners are in!

[Kially Gaith]

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!


____

Hey there, I'm Kially (Or Danny, if you want my real name!) I'll be one of your event coordinators for the duration of this competition! If you have any questions or issues, feel free to contact myself or any one of our excellent staff members here!

____

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!

I submit here, yes? Alright, I'm terrible at poetry but here it goes:


Goblin Lice Grumalth
He'll make you want to say "Arrgh,
arrgh, please no stop please"
This one is a bit of self-mockery for having such an absurd dichotomous character...

You can probably just ignore my submissions since I'm going to change it thousands of time, no doubt ^^

[Kially Gaith]

Thanks for your entry!

[MetalDrago]

Hair shines in moonlight
Orchid eyes blinded to light
Heart lost in darkness

Edmond Vanico:

Yes, Back from the dead
Alive to fight again now
Will he ever love

[Kially Gaith]

Nice entries, guys. ^_^

[Fighter™]

Here to kick your ass
Swords are my weapon, not words
You die horribly

[BlackAndBlueEyes]

The scarecrow-like girl
Eyes of steel, heart of black
Quiet, she's reading

[Mikeavelli]

Portalhopper

I'm too old for this
Damn kids, you get off my lawn!
And where's my poo bag?

[Syaoran]

Syaoran Li teh fox says:

We fight for our King
Our King fights for our freedom
Forever we serve

[Lord Synical]

The Grim Reaper says:

I march upon this earth,
My cries of battle resound and thunder,
I shall split you all morbidly asunder.

[Kially Gaith]

May I remind all posters that a Haiku is a post made up of syllables, not words. 5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables. For those of you whom are unsure, a spoken word consists of syllables.

The word 'syllable' itself is made up of three, syl-la-ble. That word used in a Haiku would consist to three of your limit for any line.

Thanks guys. Keep up the great posts.

<3!

[Tristam]

Land of blinding white
crystal and the Hippogryff
Trothgard forever

[Grin]

Cold steel cuts warm flesh
Severs life from mortal realm
Vengeance stayed once more

[yoyo]

Mum will be upset.
I said I'd be home by ten.
Where the hell am I?

[Kially Gaith]

This challenge ends Sunday, midnight, GMT. Winner will be announced early Monday Morning whence after I will put up a new challenge.

All entries must be in before the above time. Any incorrectly formatted Haiku will not be applicable for judging. You are welcome to edit and change your submissions as much as you like until the allocated time.

Make sure your Haiku IS a Haiku! Don't forget it's 5 syllables for the first line, 7 syllables for the second line, and 5 syllables for the final line.

He is the darkness,
Walking the shadows alone,
Waiting for his chance.

[Fauna Winthrope]

"On a sleepless night,
Must I crave for her bosoms?
Very Exquisite!"

[Fauna Winthrope]

"They are like... so hawt!
My silicone enhanced boobs!
Like... so totally!"

[Callara]

Waking up insane,
The blood always on her mind,
Death to all but her.

[Aerin Penna Seleratus]

In dreams, darkness stirs
Blood is the wine that she craves
Thirst can not be quenched

[Wings of Endymion]

For Yuka...

Heaven's stars above,
Twinkling gently, bright and free,
Wish I was there too.

... and just because I can't resist, one for Ingwe as well.

Lonely road from home,
Wind-whipped snow and war-torn soul,
Thinking of you now.

[Fitz]

Quintrel:

Drifting slate grey cloud,
onward tranquil traveler.
Herald to the storm.

[Muck]

From brakkish water
Iron knife between sharp teeth
Rise the cold hunter

[Christoph]

Dragons seem popular these days, so here goes:

Heavens bathed in red
Dragons rule skies of fire.
Their flame lies within

[Tristam]

To write a haiku
you must count the syllables
five seven and five

[Saxon]

Seeing as my original entry wasn't up to 'code', I've adjusted it.

Brom could never stand
Poetry or limric lines
Who writes this shit?

[Inkfinger]

Ice, ink, blade-held-bare -
He's never sure which has the
highest tax on souls.

[Kryos]

Eyes of the Dark

Through darkened wasteland,
wand’ring far, he watches, waits,
for redemption’s hour.

[Farmboy]

Congrats you three.
Damn them...

Again..good job! :D

Any other plans for side events Kially?

[Kially Gaith]

Yeah, another fun one will be up very very soon! (Possibly in the next two hours if my designing talents aren't eaten by a game I'm writing up the full dialogue of a quest for.)

Thanks for the entries guys! You were all great. Just what I expected of writers on a writing forum, then again!

[Fauna Winthrope]

OMG! I so totally won! I can't believe it!

*hugs the whole citizen of Althanas and tries to smother them with her heaving bosoms!*

Um, I would like to thank Tristam, my Tazlure mod, for magickaly augmenting this...

*points to her bozangers*

... And this...

*points to her red, pouted lips*

... And this...

*points to her perfect nose*

But most of all, I would like to thank my fellow cheerleading squad back in the University of Magick for totally believing in me as their captain! And being the most popular girl in the Campus and the President of my sorority, we will open our Sorority house in the University of Magick for a night of pure fun! We'll have lots of one on one ORAL... um... discussions and lots of Wet Corset Competition!

*teehee*

TAZLURE FTW!

[Tristam]

Well if I can't by win by subtle use of delicate imagery, I'll take a win by meta comedy. :D Thanks.

[BlackAndBlueEyes]

Awwright!

I humbly accept this tough victory with outward indifference but inward "OMGOMGOMG"-ness!

[MetalDrago]

Congratulations, guys... *grits teeth slightly*

No, really, congrats! I look forward to the next challenge, Kially.
