Biweekly Haiku & Short-Poem Contest XXXVIII
Rules and Entry Information
1.) Signups will again be based on the order in which submissions are made, meaning that all entries are to be made upfront (either here or via PM to me). There is no limit in how many can participate. Once an entry is submitted, it cannot be swapped out for something else or altered in any way.
2.) Submissions are expected to be haiku-style short poems (those with a “five-seven-five” syllable format spread out across three lines). However, other types of short poems will be accepted so long as they don’t exceed four lines in length. New entries will be accepted until Wednesday, January 30th around evening or until all slots are filled.
3.) Each poem for the contest must follow the selected theme for the competition. Due to artist’s having different interpretations of ideas, no haiku will be disqualified for writing about divergent topics so long as the theme is tied in somehow (if it isn’t, then you will be disqualified for the duration of this round); however, please note that poems posted with intent to troll or written up stupidly will be disqualified automatically. This contest’s theme is Greed.
4.) From here on out, voting will be conducted by private ballots submitted to me via PM. These should include the titles of your three favorite poems for this round. Ballots will then be tallied and the winner will announced on Sunday, February 3rd.
*Rules, timescales, and other parameters are subject to change without notice.
Entry List (Title/Author Set-up)
1.) Cash Cow (By [member]Incinermyn[/member])
The cash flow never stops
keeping my pockets lined with
money's sweet green grin!
2.) Green with Envy (By [member]Kecleon-X[/member])
People use it for good, some for bad.
Some people use it until it drives them mad.
Many a-day steal it from others, then put it in a stash.
The truth is, most people lust for their beloved cash.
3.) Corruption. (By Luckyfire)
Times go further and away.
Soon there was no way...
there's no escaping the greed, that smog of lust...
....and then it throws my dead body out under the dust.
4.) Hunger (By cinnaminbuns)
Love for earthly things
causing his once good heart to
be consumed by greed

Buying new items,
Nothing is ever enough,
Endless money spent.
