Biweekly Haiku Contest III
Rules and Entry Requirements:
1.) Post here saying that you want to enter and you’ll be accepted. Please note that the limit for entries is twelve per contest and signup ends once that tally has been met or the deadline for signups and submissions has passed.
2.) Participation requires simply that all entrants write a three-line short poem in haiku format (the alternating "Five-Seven-Five Syllables" per line set up) to be voted upon once all entries have been submitted (which will also be copy-and-pasted into this post when I have the time to do so). All submissions are final, but the only restrictions are that participants have until the second Thursday after this post has been made to submit their poems here. The fan fiction moderator may scrutinize the quality of poems and completely unintelligible submissions might be automatically disqualified; however, you will not be penalized for occasional small errors.
3.) All writings much have bear some hinting to the select theme for each contest, just to keep things somewhat even. The theme for this contest will be Science and Technology. After all submissions have been made or the deadline has passed, a poll will be created that will be open for all members of PokéBeach to vote for their favorites in. Voting for your own poem will not be permitted and also be closely monitored to prevent cheating (basically, if I see that you’ve voted for your own, I’m just going to dock you a point).

Haiku List (in order of authors entered contest)
1.) Wanting
I would love a cure
Stop the pain, the suffering
Let's stop cancer's pain
2.) Welcome
Battling and brawls,
safariblade's April Fools,
Welcome to the Beach.
3.) Haiku of the Environmentally Apathetic Generations
What makes you think that?
Tech IS better than nature,
and who needs those trees?
4.) The Last Frontier
Tons of smoke and fire.
The rocket's roar in our ears.
Let's see it again.
5.) SPAAAAAAAAACCCEEEE
The bright lights above
Flickering like a beacon
The Final Frontier
6.) Freedom From Biohazard
Contagions spread fast,
person-to-person. Thank God
we have new treatments.
Final notes: I’m still accepting suggestions for future contest themes. To date, I’ve been trying to use ones not related directly to Pokémon just so things don’t seem too redundant since it’s easy to burn through them given how diverse the franchise is.
