I'm gonna agree with some others that 1 isn't much of a haiku. They're really supposed to flow. Breaking a 17 syllable sentance up into 5-7-5 is a pretty weak attempt, IMO.

And 11 isn't a haiku.

"Oh hello, Goldshire"
Oh - He - llo - Gold - Shi - re.

It's 6-7-5.

1 is still kind of clever, though i agree that its a weak attempt for syllable structure for a haiku.

i think you're mispronouncing Goldshire. i believe the intended pronunciation is like "gold-shur" not "gold-shy-er". thats just a difference in colloquial pronunciation.

Who the heck pronounces "shire" as "shur"?
I personally pronounce it shy-ar.

Ok thanks for the tips :)

They choose from all the haikus that are summited, which means there is a lot. I think they are just picking them randomly and not which ones sound the best. Which means we could get a lot of crappy one ie. day 1. Thought that some of the ones I summited were better than all of these ones but, then again its not my choice.

The entire population of the United Kingdom, for starters.

You can extrapolate from there to any number of -shire suffixed place names with which you're not as familiar.

You brits always do things different, what's up with that?
Embrace the metric system already.

The first one is just a sentence with 17 syllables :(

End of the World (of Warcraft) As We Know It by Reel Big Fish.

You need to die now.

End of the World as We Know It is an R.E.M. song.

This. Many times this.

Teehee, you mad?

This is true. For example, I live in Yorkshire, pronounced "York-shur".

However: http://translate.google.com/#auto|en|goldshire (copy paste it, clicking breaks it)

Listen to the pronounciation there. Evidently Google pronounces it Gold-shy-ur, so it's really just a question of where you're from :)

I noticed there were a couple in the last one that had too many syllables in them as well x-x

It seems so -- mine is up there, and I posted it over the weekend. I'm surprised that one got picked; it wasn't my best.

You know what's worse then not getting into the contest, making it and losing. Unless people change their votes to mine, I don't stand a chance :(

I feel yer pain bro' it's one thing to experience the disapointment of not making it, and another to experience the utter JOY of making it, only to be turned down by the comunity.
