This contest is Open to Everyone!
By entering this contest, you are contending for one of the two remaining Mooncicle babies! [Mother: Moonbane (Oh Mellon Collie) Father: Icicle (Kiwi Squirt Bottle)] In order to enter, you must submit a standard Haiku in (5,7,5) format. If your Haiku is not standard format it may not be considered, but if you're off by one or two syllables, I'll let ya slide. Because there are two boys to give away, this contest will have two winners! Here's the rules...
• Each participant may enter up to two Haiku, one for each baby, or two for one baby.
• When submitting a Haiku, specify in your post which baby you are entering for. The baby on top will be called Boy 1, and the baby on the bottom will be referred to as Boy 2.
• If you enter two Haiku, please keep them in ONE post. You may edit your post later on to add a second Haiku.
• You may not use Mules, Alts, Friends, Etc. to gain more entries.
Your Haiku must have something to do with the chosen Kimeti's naming dream. Here's an example of an appropriate naming-dream based Haiku using Sleep-Bringing Flower's naming dream as a source.
The foal found solace,
lost amongst the flower heads.
Her eyes grew heavy.
This contest ends Friday, March 20th! Happy Haiku-ing!

Boy 2
The verse was broken,
virtue lost in shattered note,
never to return.
Boy 1
Jolted flight aloft
where impure crystals shiver
and restrict movement.

Boy 1:
curiosity.
biting cold had ripped in two,
now apart for good
Boy 2:
a light fell from high
shining bright, luminating
like a fire, burning

Boy 1
Forever fallen
In chilled sorrow follows
Leaving you forgotten
Boy 2
Alone in obscurity
Never to be found again
Buried in the soul

Boy 1
Listen to the song,
voices of the swamp blending
into harmony.
Boy 2
They flutter above.
Below he moves, hooves shuffling,
their glow lights his steps.

Boy 1
Winter moon above
Sky swollen and thick with cold
Ice left in his wake
Boy 2
Shadows filter bright
moonlit canopy pierced through
Son of the between

Boy 1
Hear the swamp keening
Swells strong at the highest note
Then breaks into sobs
Boy 2
Golden eyes cast down
Peering down into mouse eyes
Mouse runs, falcon dives

Both Entries are for Boy 1:
Chilled to the bone,
trembling spirit comes alive.
Warmth is from within.
Delicate crystal
melts beneath the living breath
as Spring is reborn

Boy 1.
Chills ran down his back
A burst from inside gives strength
He will awake
Boy 2.
the water frozen
with the step of his small hoof
He now walks the ice

Boy 1
Bare bones, empty souls
tangle of limbs flowing red
bog swallows its own
Boy 2
A tiny blossom
dancing fierce in the tempest
crushed bleeding colors

Boy Two
The rain falls briefly.
Follow, an icy wind blows,
A surprise not seen.

A chill shiver of blue fire
Reminds us of day

 Boy 1:
Shining in the sky,
will the moon show his whole face?
No, but a glimpse.
Boy 2:
Child of moon and frost,
What will you grow up too?
Will you grow your wings?

Boy 1
Alone in the cold,
the dark desolate silence
surrounded and struck.
Boy 2
The light pierced the night,
striking deep into its heart.
But to no avail.
