    How do I make a Haiku?

    A haiku is a short poem, usually about nature. But here's the tricky part: It's only three lines, and there have to be a certain amount of syllables in each one. Five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five again in the third.

    For example:
    I hear wind outside (5 syllables)
    The day is long and pretty (7 syllables)
    The clouds are clearing (5 syllables)

    Haiku Contest winners!

    1st : Azibas - We really liked the direction you were going, and your name/ poem was one of the favorites. Congratulations Azibaz for this poem:

    What have I become?
    I'm a hunter but hunted
    I'm dead but alive

    2nd : Undertheradar - Another clear favorite it's just beautiful, congratulations my friend!

    Blood shines in the light
    Plagued with intense desire
    He strikes at sunset
