As just a spectator:
Black clouds storm the sky
Beware mortals,
Deathwing comes!
or
The Sun dies,
The moonwell shines,
The stars are bright
I see Elun's smile.

Dalaran floating
Piercing the clear canopy
Jewel in the skies
(Anubee)
I can't stress this enough.
THIS,
THIS
. For once you people pick a poem that's not about laughs but something else.
Thank god for one that's actually a haiku and not just a 17 syllable wow related sentence.

It's commonly known the world "jewel" is elided into being pronounced "jool". However, it's properly a 2 syllable word. Granted, few pronounce both anymore.
But kudos, Anubee gets my vote.

Yea, I've gotta agree with other folks. Anubee's haiku sounds the best out of all of them.

Actually, that's also wrong. OMG is not an abbreviation, it's an acronym, similar to Scuba. Now, EVERYBODY knows that OMG has its letters individually pronounced.
Actually, if OMG was an acronym, it would be pronounced something like "Ohmmg." Which some people might argue is correct, but I wouldn't suggest associating yourself with 'their' kind.
OMG is actually an initialism, much like FBI, simply say the letters: "oh em gee."
It's a very sublte difference, and a distinction I find very difficult to remember. The more you know.
Thank you smarty pants, but they are both initalisms and acryonyms. They're not mutually exclusive.
Edit: Sorry if this comes across as flaming, didn't intend it to be so.
