OK so I want haiku but not just any haiku I want haiku about one of two things,one of which is more specific than the other, and I want some serious emotion. This I know can be difficult but hey it's what I'm about!
So on to the options:
1. Make it about nature, but personify it and make the subject matter come to life as a person for whom you have feelings. Make me cry.
P.S. I know that haiku aren't normally personified, but I'd like you to make an exception for this contest.Thank you!
2. Give me a haiku about final fantasy, any one, but not just about the games; give me the feeling of final fantasy. I want to read them and say "yes this feels like final fantasy". can you do that for me?
P.S. just in case some don't know what a haiku is here's a reminder: it's 3 lines, 5 syllables in the first, 7 syllables in the second, and 5 in the third line.
OK good luck

Modern haiku often have ...
less syllables. I've seen 3-4-3, 4-6-3, and any number of other possible combinations. The experts claim that a haiku can't have more syllables than the old style 5-7-5, but may often have less. -
You cannot use *personification* in a Haiku...I know this too well, because I have been thrown out of contests for doing so.
check it out with one of the Haiku teachers on here.
