We had a 3 way tie between these entries. :) Thanks everyone for all your creative haikus, I hope you enjoyed the Canthan New Year~ Kvinna should be contacting you guys with your codes soon.
I present to you
GuildWarsGuru's Canthan Haiku
Prizes await you!

In celebration of the Canthan New Year, GuildWarsGuru is holding a small Haiku contest to ring in the Year of the Rabbit. We have a few prizes to give away so open some fortunes and lets celebrate with some poetry! :]

What is a Haiku? In short it's a Japanese non-rhymed verse genre. The most common form for Haiku is three short lines. The first line usually contains five (5) syllables, the second line seven (7) syllables, and the third line contains five (5) syllables. (Read more: WikiHow - Write a Haiku Poem)

We can't expect everyone to be able to write a serious Haiku so we're changing it up a bit. Feel free to write something funny, sad, witty, serious or anything you feel! Just make sure it's in some way related to the Canthan New Year. Once you're done, post it here in the thread and our staff will pick 3 winners on Sunday, February 6th 2011.

So I heard there were prizes... It's true! We have a few Melandru and Balthazar costumes to give away. :)

EDIT: Only 1 entry per person :( Sorry about that!

Talking Canthan haiku

Beetle but racing,
Preparing for the big feast,
Having a huge blast.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Thought of a better one, if only one is allowed this is it:

Canthan skies alight
Fireworks explode in night
New year is rung in


Old haiku:

Tiger gone to sleep
Rabbit celebrates new year
Dragon stirs from sleep

Ive got 2 for you. If only one is accepted (Which wasnt stated in the OP), then the first one would be my entry.

1st on a more traditional basis;

Cherry blossom buds
Shing Jea decorating fast
Welcome young Rabbit


2nd a more modern style Haiku about the affects of the 9 rings on players Platinum Storage ;

Nine Rings nights Galore
Taxi to Consolate left
Why am I so Poor?

Edit. Read the link at the top... and my second one and most of the others here in the thread could be classed as being 'pseudo-senryu'. lol
Thanks for the link. Was a very interresting read.
