I would rather have seen those numbers transformed into letters which would have at least made it more appropriate to a haiku (which as far as i can remember can't consist of numbers, only letters)

Man, I worked so hard to keep the 5/7/5 syllables thing, and then you didn't even have to. Bah. :<
Anyway, I have to agree... sort of a poor choice of haikus. No offense, but I'm pretty sure there were more creative ones. Not saying that mine are better or anything though.

Actually, Striker's submission is 5/8/5. Arthas' adds an extra syllable that Arthas wouldn't have.

how exactly are the haikus chosen , and since these 9 were chosen does that mean all the others were already discarded as 'worse' or have they already made a top 50 which they update every now and then when they read new ones. basically I'm confused about what happens now, what pool they will chose today ( all haikus , or just the ones submitted 14th /15th/16th).
ow , and about the 'whole these haiku's suck' . while i agree that they don't seem that good, its probably from the fact that one of mine wasn't chosen.

The contest stated for users to vote for the ones they thought were the best out of the 10 picked each day, so if you don't like it..don't vote for it. If you don't like any of them, don't vote for any of them. Yes, I am sure there were others that were far better then the ones that WoWHead could have picked, but whose to say that they won't show up in the next 13 days of the contest. :3
Though I would love to agree that I thought the haiku was to be wow-themed. I didn't know Axe sponsored Blizzard or any thing wow related. And the knock-knock one is not original, it is just a shorten version of many jokes told by wow players. O_o;
On a side note: T^T I want the servers to hurry up and come back up now. And grats to those picked on day one and those picked in the following days ^-^

@ All the small-minded, immature and afraid to lose people
Excuse me, what makes you think that there are better submissions than these? Since you don't know what people have posted, you probably think your submissions deserve to be in this poll more than the others, which is pretty normal because simple humans like you are made to be selfish.
Not to mention you don't realize that different people have different taste, which often has nothing to do with yours. Some people like blue, some people like pink or yellow and some people that made this contest happen like those haiku more than yours.
Every single contest that have been made have turned into a flame war by the very same people, unhappy that they are not chosen for winners. Could for
once
in your life consider the possibility that you are not alone in this world and that there are thousands of others that are probably better at something that you think you are good at?
Could you for once respect other people's work and efforts? Do you really enjoy living such a hateful and small-minded life?
And one day, when you happen to win some kind of contest, you will realize how unpleasant it is to face all the hatred of the crowd that hates you only because you've been the winner. And then remind to yourself that you've been once part of that crowd too.
Isn't it ironic?

Wonder why so many of us voted for the knock knock joke? Because every other one deserves to be trashed and replaced with 8 other GOOD Haikus, sadly the way it is....we are given crap to work with. Lika are you serious? One third of them are about Mankrik...OH THAT'S SOOOOO ORIGINAL *cough* sarcasm *cough* and then 1 that's almost a mere image of the example haiku....srsly? Last but not least: The youtube refence...oh joy...I read more on the forums that should be up here rather than the 8 non-deservers...So a little advice wowhead:...Let's make it a NON-POPULARITY CONTEST!, haikus that aren't piss-poor jokes about the same freakin thing over and over (MANKRIK LOL *dies a little inside*), stop letting people get up there for making such Captain obvious statements like the Jaina one, and LASTLY, stop letting popular news populate the haikus. Now the Old spice one is ok but plz no more...I don't want thie website to become action news...
Not all of us use Mankrik to be used in its meme form... Whether you think he's "Overused" or not, hes a well known quest character in Warcraft, so much so that hes being further developed in cataclysm. So stop QQing
As for your idea that all of them are $%^& besides the "knock knock joke haiku", when there were at least some examples of great haiku's ( for example
strikers
), I would say its more your lack of appreciation for how haiku's work rather than them being *!@#.
