It’s really that simple. Today, I’m giving two beta keys to the writers of two haiku about WoW. You may post your haiku in the comments here or on our Facebook wall. Please only enter with one haiku, the best you can contrive.
My bare dwarf feet on
Cool dewy grass feel just right
A fine hunter’s day
I will be convening a panel of judges when this contest is closed for entries, which will be at 9PM PDT (midnight eastern) today. So you have six hours to give it your best shot! Good luck!
Note: Please don’t post your haiku someplace other than the comments on this blog post or our Facebook wall, if you want it to be judged. Also, please note that we will be checking to make sure the winning WoW haiku are original before awarding the keys. Thank you!
i admit i’m noob
agroed mobs always kill me
i hate murlocs most
Authenticater
I should have installed the app
My account is hacked
there can be no peace
world is devoured by rage
deathwing has returned
A tart tailor’s tale;
Garrosh’s trousers, self-sewn
From six tater sacks.
Rogue sneaks on a mage
pew pew pew pew pew
dead mage Q Q Moar
Again same raid
Hope the Boss drops that thing
Sorry, no trinket
Pug’s are bad and mean
join a good guild with friends and
kill the heroic Lich king
Dear Scott and Randy,
less contests and more show please.
I fiend terribly.
Lich King rests for good,
what could possibly go wrong?
Tremors in the ground.
cataclysmic events
involve me writing haikus
oh god let it stop
Explosion Of Doom
Releasing Of The Dragon
Is Not Fast Enough
The Lich King is dead;
There must be a replacement;
Wrathgate Survivor
Deathwing shatters the world
people hide and flee from his wrath
Heros to his lair
Trolling in tradechat
Anal Chuck Norris Murlocs
Complete my WoW night
Starcraft two is out
World Of Warcraft is empty
Refrigerator
my lovely druid
loves to trap the many mobs
in a storm of winds
Healing wounds with life
Embodiment of nature
Bound by earth, I shift
How I long to raid.
Instead I am stuck at work.
Woot! It’s the weekend!
Raids on the Lich King
Everyojne retreats, Becoming Lore Maters and Explorers.
Guild Master takes a vacation
Snobold on my back
interrupting my attack
no ranged DPS
Prey falls, bleeds on grass.
Black as night, feral cat prowls
Silent and deadly.
Hear the cry of the wolf
Running through shadowed forests
WTB Snazzy Top Hat
Account got hacked
Farmers took my gear and gold
Got some free play time!
The death knight rides,
on a pale horse he comes near,
all is death…and fear
You no take candle!
The wick endless, wax wasting
Harsh wind invited.
Logging in to WoW
And realizing I can’t.
I’m allowed to cry
Logging into WoW
To realize its Tuesday.
I’m allowed to cry.
***
sorry, my first one didn’t make sense.
i love you murloc…
you make such a funny sounds…
and you smell like fish…
My alts sprout like beans
Consuming time like raindrops
Bloom through expansion
Epic loot drops
I make the highest roll
Silent assassin
I googled Haiku -
saw picture of asian guy
was no lady man!
FYI, this contest ended, like… days ago. Apparently I was two hours too late, which I only found out after an anxious, fitful night of attempted sleep, followed by a morning of utter bewilderment and agonizing otiosity, leading on to a frantic afternoon flurry of scrutinous searching, concluding with sorrow-filled sigh of disappointment and an evening of lamenting over the loss of my chance to take part in what is quite possibly the only beta that I ever have and likely ever will truly care about.
So yeah… a front-page “Hey guys, this contest is over now.” would have been nice. ‘Course the fact that they’re giving these things away in the first place is pretty darn cool, so despite my nerdrage, I’ve got nothing but props headed your way.
Healers are dieing,
The whole raid is wiping now
Drunk tank again tonight.
Oh, well I know it ended, but it was fun to write it anyways
Logged into WoW
Took on last look at Strat
Thanks for the Horse
We march through Icecrown
Our Feet cold and our minds Numb
We will Persevere
These haikus dont get old !
Had fun with this.
Take The Tower Now
Alterac Valley Is Mine
Too Late I Am Dead
Dusk in Kalimdor,
What a great day to punt gnomes.
Hear the cries throughout.
New tank awakens
Wants to tank an heroic
Gear score not enough
The food that I eat
Determines my raid success
At least it used to
