Achates' Legendary Haiku Contest!

[Achates]

I thought that it might be fun to have a weekly contest in order to get to know some of the members on this board! I'm sometimes busy, so it might not be on the same day every week, so keep your eyes peeled on this thread!

DETAILS
Every week, I will give away one event Pokemon. This could be anything from a 10th Anniversary Celebi to a Pokemon Battle Revolution Pikachu. I will announce a Pokemon at the beginning of the week.

START AND FINISH
Contests always start 12:00 AM Mondays, and end a week later at the same time.

HOW TO WIN
In order to win one of these rare Pokemon, you must reply to this thread with a 5-7-5 original haiku about the Pokemon in question. It can be funny, it can be serious, it can really be whatever you want. After the week is over, I will close the entries so that I can judge. The first prize will be the announced Pokemon. One runner-up will receive a random mystery egg.

SUBMISSION RULES
You may only submit ONE haiku for consideration, so please make sure you understand the rules of the competition. If you're unsure, just send me a PM and I'll clarify them for you. Most of all, HAVE FUN!!! =D

EXAMPLE
Pokemon: Celebi
Green as the spring leaves (5 Syllables)
It can read your deepest thoughts (7 Syllables)
Use it as a gnome! (5 Syllables)

So, get those thinking caps on and get ready to win some Pokemon!

[Achates]

This week, we'll start things off with a bang and offer as a prize the first event-only Pokemon, Mew!

Name: MEW
Trainer: MYSTRY
ID: 06930
Level: 10

This Mew was offered as part of a Toys R' Us Promotion a few years back.

So start writing those haikus!

I'm not sure if Mew is a boy or girl and I don't want to put "it." But that last line is still 5 syllables ok?

It is a 5-7-5!

[jake024]

i dont know what haiku is sorryT_T

[PootsTheScoots]

Isn't the idea of this contest to make haikus about mew? Not trying to be an :(:(:(:(:(:(:( or anything, just wasn't sure if everyone understood the rules and I didn't want anyone disqualified or something.

[PootsTheScoots]

A haiku has 3 lines... the first line has 5 sylabbles... the second line has 7 sylabbles and the third line has 5 sylabbles once again. That's why its being called 5-7-5.

[jake024]

MEW A CREATURE OF BEAUTY
ITS BEAUTY RADIATES THROUGHOUT EARTH AND GALAXY

God that was soo hard! I love writing, but I tend to go on forever! I could write a whole book about the darned little pink critter! hehe! Oh I so wanted to use ally for the last word, but it's two syllabyls!

[lnjured]

ok, i think people are confused..a haiku is 3 lines, 5-7-5 SYLLABLES!!
NOT WORDS
im pretty sure you all know what syllables are...like AL-A-KA-ZAM that word has 4 and DI-TTO has 2, and MEW is 1...ok...i hope you get it now...

[thejearbear]

...

[lnjured]

what?

[thejearbear]

nothing, never mind *chuckles

[SoronRocket]

Uh, did I do it right? I'd never heard of a Haiku before! :lol:

[Achates]

Please try not to spam this forum with stuff like that.

[Trombones13]

A true guardian
Watching over other friends
Transform away, Mew!

...And a funny one...
Mew, the pinkish blob
Whizzing around in the sky
A hermaphrodite?! (you know, cuz it can transform) <-- Let me know if I can't say that, and I'll remove it.

[RoBottnik]

Injured, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you weren't trying to be a jerk, that it was intended tongue-in-cheek. However, we do not appreciate spamming, nor do we tolerate it. Continued infractions of this kind can result in being banned from this forum. Please review the forum rules if you are unclear on anything. I'm doing this publicly so everyone can know that we take this site seriously, and we take the rules seriously. We will not tolerate this sort of thing here. I'm sorry to be a buzzkill but if we allow this sort of thing to go on the site can degenerate very quickly into nothing but spamming and flaming and nobody appreciates that. Thank you.

[Cherkat]

Sapphire is only 2 syllables, so their poem is ok.

[Achates]

This week's contest will be for two Pokemon, because it just didn't seem fair to split them up.

Latios Level 70, Trainer ID: 10 ANIV, ID Number: 00010
Latias Level 70, Trainer ID: 10 ANIV, ID Number: 00010

These two Pokemon were part of the 10th Anniversary Event in America.

Remember, you may submit only one Haiku, but in this case, I have modified the rules. You may write your Haiku on either Latios OR Latias OR Both. Good luck, and be creative!

This week's Pokemon is a 10th Anniversary Celebi!

Dwells in deep green solitude
Travel on small bee

----------------------------
Unfathomable;
Conscious entity in time.
Recluse; yet heedful.
----------------------------

[Achates]

This is a bump, but also an announcement that the Celebi contest goes on until this coming Saturday, the 22nd of September.

[wraithseer]

Thorns shoot up to guard,
All that is broken in time,
Celebi : Warden

By Harvey


for sheeno MANOWAR!

[juke31]

I got 1

Guardian of all forests delightful
Voice of the Forest pure and secluded
Evil cannot destroy its paradise

[Insouciance]

I'm sorry I have to say this, as I recall (injured, I think it was) saying this before, but we really need to clear this up! A Haiku has 3 lines, most of you have grasped that concept. The FIRST line has 5 SYLLABLES, the SECOND has 7 SYLLABLES, and the LAST has 5 SYLLABLES. A SYLLABLE is, in essence, how many beats there are to a word. POTATO has 3 syllables. Say the word slowly and you'll hear these three "beats". They are: PO-TA-TO. Say it. PO-TA-TO. So basically, you couldn't have the word "potato" twice in the first or third line of a Haiku, because each one has three syllables and you're only allowed five in those lines, so two lots of three don't fit into five. You could have it twice in the second, though, providing you had another monosyllabic (one-syllable) word. Let me give an example:

You can do: (in brackets is the breakdown of the syllables)

Lovely Potato, (LOVE-LY-PO-TA-TO, 5 syllables)
Oh how I adore you so, (OH-HOW-I-AD-ORE-YOU-SO, 7 syllables)
The light of my life. (THE-LIGHT-OF-MY-LIFE, 5 syllables)

You couldn't do, however:

Oh potato I need you, (Although it has 5 words, it has 7 syllables, when you're only allowed 5 in the first line)
You never are out of my mind, (7 words, but 8 syllables, when you have to have 7 syllables.)
Please allow me your love. (6 syllables, when we have to have 5)


Please say some more people understand it now? :/


May I just add my previously-written Haiku is still my contest one. >.<

[Achates]

For all those new to this thread, please see the first page for the rules and guidelines for the contest. If you're unsure of how to write a haiku, please feel free to PM me, but only after you've read the first page of the thread. =D

[Sywo]

Celebi
Wandering Being,
In Forest Green, and Space Time,
For eternal life.

[mayden]

Celebi

loves tranquil lush woods
serene forest protector
speeds unheard through time

(whoops sywo, i just noticed you got an extra syllable in your last line)

[Sywo]

Thanks for telling me!

[Blue]

Celebi the small
Harmonious and noble
Bright eyed and clever

How very funny Mr.Sheen. But I would like to add that if you had not of said that we would of had a much better chance of winning. Also we have fun reading numty Haikus that are wrong.


So I have one thing to say to you

Sheeno is not good,
He does not have a pudding,
Samaritan Snail.

Ok that isn't my celebi one. Just to be sure.

[juke31]

Sorry 'bout dat.... It's been like three years since I did a Haiku and I thought I remembered how to make 1. Heres a real haiku:

Voice of the forest
Wanders through all lands tranquil
Blessings follow it

[wraithseer]

A gift from the past
Enchanting with a heal bell
Hope from the future

[wraithseer]

[wraithseer]

[juke31]

This Saturday

Yes, this is the only Legitimate Darkrai on the market right now without using hacks, and cannot be gotten over GTS due to the classic ribbon it has. It comes in a cherish ball.

Hello you!

Yes, you!

Would you like to be a guest judge in the Haiku contest in the coming weeks?

I am going to be incredibly busy in the next few weeks, and need some help judging all the fine entries here in the Haiku contest, so I am looking for guest judges! Each judge will be working very closely with me, and will have a hand in selecting the Event Pokemon offered for the week!

If this is something that you might enjoy doing, then PM me and I will send you an application!

[Achates]

Hey guys,

My internet has gone down, so first of all, there will be no new Haiku contest this week (sorry!) until it comes back up. I'll be posting the winners to this week's contest as soon as I am able. I appreciate your patience until I can get my internet back up and running.

Thanks!
Achates

[Nak]

Ok Achates =)

[Nak]

Okay, Achates has been gone for a while now and I really miss his contests. And before he disappeared due to connection troubles, he has left me and etompkins as guest judges. And as we all know, etompkins has been busy with RL, so that leaves us with me. Would you guys like me to make a haiku contest in the absence of Achates? I'm not trying to steal his thunder or anything, but I just really miss his contests.

[Nak]

Yo, opinions? Yes? No? I don't caaaare? XD

[toys4life]

Yo, opinions? Yes? No? I don't caaaare? XD

My haiku's were never good enough to win but I always enjoyed making funny one's...so in my opinion, I would like it if you brought back the Legendary Haiku Contest!

[nana nettie]
