Sorry, I can't copy-and-paste when I'm online via phone, so I rewrote it in the OP when I added it and must have mistakenly put a period instead of an exclamation point. In any case, I fixed it. If you notice any other mistakes like that, by all means, point them out.

I'm in.

I just wrote a Haiku four minutes before the deadline (accounting for time differences). It should be in your inbox shortly.

amazing what one can do in just a few moments

Updated, and revised!

Sorry, DNA. I forgot to mention that these threads usually aren't officially revealed until the Sunday or Monday after I make them (to coincide with whenever CMP makes a Portal announcement regarding contests). So the deadline is really next Thursday, and I edited the OP to reflect that.

Christmas Tree
A verdant rocket,
Its bright spheres cascading down,
Shoots up to the stars.

My entry:

Holidays
Family, love, and presents
are all part of the holidays.
I look outside and see a world filled with lights.

Updated!

It's nice to see strong interest in this again, given the turnout seemed sort of skimpy last round. But I guess it just depends on whether people have time for this or not.

Final call for any new or outstanding entries! You have until noon on Thursday to enter a haiku or short poem before voting begins!

The poll is up. Remember that all entrants have to vote if you want your points to count!

Does the "My Own" option in the poll mean you, Apollo, or does that mean I'm voting for my own entry?

 

[Incinermyn]

RE: Haiku & Short-Poem Contest X (Vote now through Sunday, 1/1/12!)

Yes, it means me. I only put it as "my own" since I'm the thread's author and the contest's host.

 

[Incinermyn]

My apologies for not updating this sooner, but I've been having a difficult time staying online this morning.

In any case, it looks like I've won another round, though I honestly wasn't expecting to. Congrats to Zyflair and Lucky Fire for both coming in a close second place. Also, good job, DNA and Alvin SubClause, for tying in third.

 

[Luckyfire]

I didn't expect to be in second place. I thought I'd just get a few votes and come in fourth or fifth place.

Congratulations to Apollo for winning, and also, congrats to Zyflair, of course. I shouldn't forget to congratulate DNA and Alvin SubClause for coming in third. I hope to win the next contest, or at least, win second.

 

[Zyflair]

What, five tries and all I got was a tie for first?

I suck at haikus

 

[Ice Arceus]

Hopefully I will do better next round.

Congratulations Apollo, Zyflair, Lucky Fire, DNA, and Alvin SubClause.

 

[DNA]

At least it was better than nothing, considering it took me all of 30 seconds to think it up and write it.

Yay, finally my vote is the winning person... That's just sad I vote every contest, and the person never wins
