Biweekly Haiku Contest IV
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 about 12:00PM (Central Time) the second Thursday (October 6th, 2011) 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 School and/or College Life (You don't have to currently be in either, just know the experience of them). 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.) A Haiku of Homework
Ugh, all this homework
There’s so much, it makes me mad
And it’s nice outside
2.) Triple Shots
Late night studies were
always a breeze with three cups
of cappucino.
3.) Haiku of College Applications
Flood of paperwork,
I'm drowning in its sheer mass,
All for a good cause.
4.) Papercuts
Paper, you mad bro?
Why you always hurting me?
Gotta' write this man...
5.) Education
Paper and a pen
Facts, formulas, nothing fun
Shows not how to live
6.) Crammed
I am crammed inside
A dark and lonely locker.
Bullies rule the school...
