Sponsored Weekly Haiku Contest: Haikus At Dawn
Elaine of the Snowy Forest
Hello to my friends and enemies,
This week's contest is sponsored by the Office of the Vice President of the e-United States: More Haikus! I will send out food to every response from an eUSA citizen on Monday, with a 5-gold reward for the haiku with the most votes! And of course, I keep some extra goodies on hand for Haikus I'm particularly fond of. I encourage y'all to do the same 🙂
As a reminder, a haiku is a short poem that can be about anything (but is traditionally about nature). It consists of 3 lines, where the first and last lines contain 5 syllables, and the middle line contains 7.
Looking forward to all of your wonderful poetry, and as always I'll start us off:
Hope is Like Lightning
A Struggle Renewed Each Day
Wielding Strength Through Pain

Old dogs pine for it.
While little pups jump for joy,
Spring unfolds on time.
Harken Samurai!
ancient sins come due in time
account now revoked.
Work is Strong AF
Be careful what you Wish for
Can you Handle it

Eloquent, verbose,
Principled proclamation:
Vain words rings hollow.
sheets of snow bear down
outside my window. I see
a computer's glare
Fear: the black shadow
Pulls me until it consumes
What light is left here?
fingers on keys
expressions of hope and love
