Only today and tomorrow left!
Time for day 9 of the voting! Just like yesterday, when the voting ends tomorrow, we'll select the 5 top haikus and award their authors with Cataclysm Beta keys!
Just vote using the poll controls at the top. Remember to check back on the results to see who's winning—and if your haiku (or one you really like) is on the list, be sure and post this poll on your Facebook or Twitter so all your friends can vote for you.
I'll leave this thread open until tomorrow, so everyone can discuss the results of the poll. Remember, if you want to enter, just go to our contest page here:
http://www.wowhead.com/contest=wow-haiku-contest
(##RESPBREAK##)2##DELIM##Malgayne##DELIM##And the results are in! Today's winners are
Shindomaru, MaskOfWinters, Honegumi, Toastland, and xerotheory!

Actually, today's are pretty good. Some are kind of mediocre, but there are some definite good ones here.
Still none of mine. *sulk*

Are you sure? I haven't gotten the e-mail yet. I do hope so for the sake of my brother.
He's only 15 and I'm 23.

Eh, I don't really like any of today's entries either. Nothing terrible, but nothing inspiring.

One thing I do not understand about this contest.
Some of these don't use the 3-5-3 or 5-7-5 and use random amount of syllables.
Am I mistaken or is it simply all fine.
Example. I...have...freed...myself... / No, old friend... you freed us all / Warsong is supreme
That´s 16.
Lost home of the gnomes / Soloable at 40 / Why still an issue?
That´s 12.
Now I might be completely mistaken but just asking.
Another question: I put in this one a day ago but is it even a haiku?
Tried a 3-5-3
Lucid dream , my will an Illusion , consumed

I was pretty confused to what a haiku actually is and I'm sure I submitted my own very, very bad ones.
Now I found this on the net: Haiku = "A style of lyric poetry borrowed from the Japanese that typically presents an intense emotion or vivid image of nature, which, traditionally, is designed to lead to a spiritual insight."
Now that I know what a Haiku actually suppose to be I'm surprised how much crippeled randomnes is getting through.
Are the 10 for the day picked out of a hat ?
Anyway... I suppose the closest one sounding like the definition of what a Haiku is to be for me was jakoblacko's one. Yes, I'm sure 1 or 2 (and no more there shall be) also met the criteria but jakoblacko's was the one of the few to stand out for me.
<Vote's jakoblacko, walking away scratching his head in confusion>

Busy sitting here wracking my mind for the ultimate haiku (to rule them all), and an email pops into my inbox:
"Congratulations! You’ve been selected to participate in the beta test of World of Warcraft®: Cataclysm™."
Not even lying.
Byeeeebye.
