Giveaway of Scale - A Fun Poetry Contest - Seriphina is the Winner

Recommended Posts

What in the heck is Nirav doing now? 
Well, I will tell you. I am giving away scale on the last day of my 12 Days of Holiday Give-away. .06 of Blue Dragon Scale is going to the winner of this contest. Here are the contest rules.  The reason for all this is I got an archaeology affinity, which just does not happen to me hardly at all - getting affinities - so in celebration, I gave things away in GL for 11 days and this is the 12th and final.
You must write a Haiku in this thread.
The Haiku must follow the 5/7/5 syllable rule.

It must be related to Wurm in some way. 
It must not go against any of the rules set down by Wurm Online regarding harrassment, bullying, etc.

You must have the Haiku written by Midnight Server Time CET on the 19th of January... well the 20th of Jan technically. Midnight when it goes from the 19th to the 20th.

To win, you must be SFI.

I will not be judging. There is a panel of judges so that my own bias does not determine a winner. 

This event has ended. The winner will be announced soon.

A panel of three judges, none of whom were me, have agreed that Seriphina is the winner of the contest.

Swooping from afar,

A random spawn seeks his prey.

Fight or flee, we must!

I am gonna "cheat" and write a serious one, then a second one that's just for funsies. (can ignore it)

 

1#

 

A brightly lit forge,

Rain echoes the sizzling coals,

The smith is now pure.

 

 

#2

 

A dying forgelight,

Bang! The smith curses loudly,

He nurses his thumb and wonders why he took this job for 20 coppers...

 

(never wrote a haiku before, had to use a syllable counter cause I suck at that )

Ancient terror flies,

Armies March banners held high,

The beast watches us.

Wurm is Life, dig dirt

The Meadows, a peaceful home

Nature's symphony

The mighty tree falls.
The carving knife soothes the soul.
The sea calls my name.

Bricks I'll make with pride,

Till the day that I die,

My craft never tires.

"Thwack" goes the pickaxe.

The lantern suddenly dark--

A miner problem.

Wandering the trees

Finding ripe fruit and flowers

But where did I park?

As seen on my Alpengeist wiki page:

 

*clears throat and stands up straight*

 

Wurm Haiku:

 

All roads lead to Wurm.

Don't forage in the pig pen if you want high-ql results or clean hands!

Can you check your perms? Oh wait, you're standing too close. XD

MOIs are the glitter in the rainbow.

All roads lead to Wurm.

This contest looks fun,
The prize, the rhymes, but alas
I am in the North

Thank you all for doing this!  These are really good. They are way better than I expected, not because I didn't think we had poets, but because this was just a random fun thing, and I didn't expect the amount of work and thought put into it by all of you. I wish I had scale to give to every one of you BUT - every person who entered, you get a silver for entering. Please send a sprout or other item to Nirav ingame for one silver. The winner will be announced in a few hours. Thank you all. If it is ok with you, these poems will be on a page on the Rockcliff Museum Website for all to see for a long time into the future. If you do NOT want your haiku there, please let me know.

Bless you Nirav and thank you for hosting this, it was a lot of fun and my first taste of Haiku Poetry.

As Sweetangel said, just being a part of this was reward enough for me, so thank you :)
