You find yourself running around the manor along with the other Gaians in a frenzy of confusion. The other Ball-goers are so busy talking to everyone that, in fact, you are left without a single person to converse with. You eventually begin to search the manor for something to do. Noticing the many works of art and poetry lining the walls of the manor, a shivering spark electrified from the base of your stomach and spread through the whole of your body. Eventually, you found your way into the library, astonished by the massive bookcases that line every wall and crevice. You walk forward, still distracted, only to end up bumping into a desk. This desk is large and fairly old. Midst all the papers and quill pens, you see a document. Upon a fair amount of investigation, you realize this said document is a haiku, a poem of some sort. It reads...

Traverse into dreams
Believe that you can do it
A haiku to spare


Beneath the haiku, a neat scrawl writes:

Haiku contest!

-Mitsukai


Out of nowhere, a pen and paper float off the desk and fall flat into your hands. You realize that this could be the chance you had been waiting for. Who knows! Maybe you could be the one with the prize. So what will it be? Love or Envy? Are you up for the challenge?

What is a Haiku?
A haiku is very similar to a poem, but with stricter structure rules. There can be only three lines in a haiku. The first line must have five syllables, the second line must have seven syllables and the last line must have five syllables. No rhyming is required.

Rules


1. Only one entry is allowed per person.
2. You may write a haiku based on either the theme of Love OR Envy.
3. Your haiku must follow the above structure rules.
4. Post your entry in this topic and not the main room for Haus D'Amour. I will also ignore entries sent to me by PM.
5. Your entry must be this format or your entry will not count.
Quote:

6. Do not quote this post.
7. This contest will be open until 21st 5pm and the winner will be announced on 22nd August 5pm EST. Any entries after the closing date will be ignored.
8. Have fun!!!!

Love:

The darkness of souls
Illuminated by love
Shining like prayer.

By: Artemesia_of_Persia:
Tears fall one by one
Finger tips brush them away
Now love's first soft kiss.

By: anime_ichigo_sama:
Soft lips like petals,
Heated breath across my neck,
Whispering sweet love.

By: ShiN J1N:
True love, true love, where?
A pure love that knows no end,
In thee, I found it.

By: Lunamusica:
Bated breath hitches,
Crimson rushing to heat cheeks,
First kiss to fleeting.

By: Odd Nobody:
In moonlight, your breath,
Softly caressedagainst glass,
Traces my quaint heart.

By: Sada-chan4:
I want to hold you,
To whisper sweetly my love,
Dearly beloved.

By: Angel of Doubt:
Watching the moon rise
She smiles; my heart glows silver
Illuminating.

By: Yuunai:
Love the sweetest sin
Makes a heartfly high above
Before crashing down.

By: Emerald Morning:
Touch, breathe, touch, and now what next?
Tremble, whisper, now what next?
What's your love story?

Envy:
By: Dorgi:
Swirling and spinning,
Across the floor with that wench,
Why her and not me?

By: XxForgottenFairytaleXx:
Justice comprimised,
Given more than you deserve,
Who are you really?

By: himarichan:
How dare you love her!
So sweetly do faithfully,
Why not me instead?

Everything you are,
And everything you will be,
I shall yet become.

I came home last night,
To find her instead of me,
Do you not love me?

By: carasu-hana:
He moves like a swan
He dogdes, he dribbles, and dunks
I could do that too.

By: FireCat0:
Pastel dreams on cloth;
Big curls, long legs, cupcake skirt
Loli I should be.

By: Itsumo_dreamer:
Resentful longing,
Arouse me internally,
Discontented love.

By: Kaokurei:
Bitter feeling felt.
The taste in my mouth is not
Sweet as dew, but sour.

By: Evi fan girl:
Always you stare there
Ever riveted by her
Treasure me like that.

By:TKDPantherChic:
Just your prize to win
Twirling around your finger
Release him to me!

By: The_Crimson_Stained_Sun:
She has won the prize,
I should have won it instead,
She has everything!
