I'm starting this a day or so earlier from here on out, so people have a little more time to enter/write.
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 twenty 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 Death and/or Horror (since it’s almost Halloween). 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).
Participant List
1.) Apollo
2.) Bippa201
3.) TheDarkLucario
4.) BlastBurn
5.) thefleeee

Haiku List (in order of authors entered contest)
1.) Lupine Terror
Howls in dead of night,
Fearsome fangs, eyes all aglow.
Death's swift thanks to wolves.
2.) Ode to the Mansion
Where is my brother?
Maybe the ghosts got to him.
I'm scared, I'll save him.
3.) Neat Monster
With each kill, I grow.
I'm a very neat monster.
I'm a cannibal.
4.) Haiku of Death
Rising from the void,
It comes to reclaim the souls,
Death; it awaits you...
5.) Gunshot
Gun cocked at your head
Life's Inevitable end
Silence, Now your dead
6.) Haiku of Waking Terror
Breath stopped, heart pounds,
the endless hallway stretches.
Gasping, just a dream...
7.) Red Canvas
You paint a picture
Of you end you've created
Words are like knives
8.) A Haiku for the Helpless
Like metal, they bind
You writhe, but it's not enough
I bid you farewell.
9.) Knife in the Dark
The creak of old wood
A harsh scream, and then silence
A knife in the dark
