I have been noticing a lot of poetry on the site recently, and I thought it would be nice to have a friendly little poetry competition. There will be a weekly theme, and the entries will be judged by one of the moderators or administrators. This week's theme will be "Water." The deadline is Saturday, August 2nd. The winner will be awarded 25 Armor Points.

Shadows at night,
Ripping through the stars and moon,
Concealing all...all.

Sorry, I'm changing my poem The Forest Night since the middle line had 8 syllables.

The Forest Night

Moonlight, dark and soft,
Evergreens sway, the wind blows,
The wolf comes to rest.

True, but haikus I think are supposed to be more "beautiful". Maybe I'm wrong though I'm not an expert on poetry!


That depends on the definition of the haiku. Traditional Japanese haikus relate to a season in addition to a deeper meaning. Western haikus I haven't a clue, but I think it might anything that conforms to the short-long-short/5-7-5 format.
