Just looking at all the entries so far, I can tell this is going to be a fun contest to judge! Just a reminder, you've got until voting ends to enter.

Ending this contest
Will make me very, very, very, sad.
Who will win it? Who?
She walks in beauty, like the night
of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
meet in her aspect and her eyes...

Totally still working on the RV5 epilogue, I swear...

Me! I will! I'll win!
And I'll rub your loser snouts
Into the dust! Hah!
And I hope that you know that nature is so
This same rain that draws you near me
Falls on rivers and land, and forests and sand,
Makes the beautiful world that you'll see in the morning

To all reviewers, past and present, thank you! I don't always find something to say in reply to each reviewer but I do my best to read them and will take their advice as best I can. You are appreciated!

That's what you may say,
But I think that the winner
will be a surprise.

You think? Surprises
are, surprisingly often,
unsurprising, man. 
She walks in beauty, like the night
of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
meet in her aspect and her eyes...

Man? That remark seems
quite out of character for
one of your high class.

In all truthfulness,
Eliza is a stoner
In marten disguise!
And I hope that you know that nature is so
This same rain that draws you near me
Falls on rivers and land, and forests and sand,
Makes the beautiful world that you'll see in the morning

Classwork takes the soul
From life and writing and me.
See it fly away.

Vermin and goodbeast
Rejoice in their prescence in
Just drunken stupors.

Well, I've pored over your entries, and it was a really tough choice, but we have a winner! Congratulations to...

Sparrowhawk!

QuoteWe're blind, end to start
Eyeless things in lightless wombs
Death, the final dark.


Honorable mentions:

Cairn!

QuoteGrowing life does gnaw
confining a great hunger.
Escape must happen.

Both creepy and funny. :P


Fern!

QuoteOld friends in disguise
Weave a tale of epic size
Who will unmask next?


Jarrtail!

QuoteDark maze of twisting,
painted stone. Eyeless ones are
not missing very much.



And I'll throw this one in, just because it made me laugh:

Quote from: SycamoreI have a haiku!
It is about Redventure.
It is not that good.


Thanks to everyone that took part! And feel free to keep arguing in haiku; it's quite entertaining. :P

Congratulations, Sparrowhawk! Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Congrats, Sparrowhawk!
Your haiku was excellent.
Happy Nameday, too!

I look forward to whatever curve you throw at us.:D
