Some better choices, but I don't see how some of them have to do with wow, primarily no funeral's...care to explain it to me?
lol if you dont see how that has to do with wow then you are probably one of the people standing in fire, death and decay, etc. and should listen well to that haiku
Your logic makes no sense. I, like some other people, thought it was 'crap'. Doesn't mean idk how to raid. That's like me saying I'm a better raider than you, with the exception mine is probably true

Cadeyrn, a haiku is supposed to be 5/7/5 syllables, not 4/7/6 ... As to the ones posted I like the first one the most , the others are just not that good.
and why is that aimed at me? I was stating that it was 4/7/6 since i know they're supposed to be 5/7/5

I'm really excited to see if my haiku will show up tomorrow.
I personally like Arathrens and Nofunerals haikus , simply be cause they're humoristic and something I wouldn't have thought of writting myself. Good job :)

Though I agree with others on the fact that a contest for the cata beta key should be about cata that way we have new and creative jokes/thoughts and that they are not redundant...yet...
I couldn't agree more, and I'm sure we'll see some great ones in the following days.

Seriously arguing about sylables in words like "learned" is just stupid.
Firstly let's break it to you: English is one of the few languages that is not normalized, meaning that every dictionary and every editor can choose his own spelling and pronaunciation, it becomes even more the case when including all the diferent english speaking countries...
Secondly this contest is open to EVERYONE, since it already puts people for which english is not mother tongue (majority of us here) at disadvantage, how can you expect them to know the "true" pronaunciation, when in fact it can be specific to your area. The least you can so is ignore trivial cases.
So please, relax with flaming and enjoy the haikus,
Thanks.
This is a very very poor argument. If you're entering a contest that involves the English language and a specific syllable pattern such as haiku's it's pretty much required to know wtf you're talking about. Yeah, pronunciations with different people will vary. That's why you look it up on a simple website such as dictionary.com. If you're going to enter a garden contest and bring weeds - you deserve to lose. Because someone says a word different when the enunciate doesn't mean that the actual word is that many syllables.
Yes, this contest is open to everyone, which is great. And for those who English may not be their first language will be at a disadvantage. This is true. By no means however should this change the rules behind a contest.
Will everyone's Haiku get in there? Nah. Doubt mine will either. But to have them chose something that by definition is NOT a haiku - it's going to frustrate those who took their time and knew what they were doing.

ummm you do realize the 5-7-5 order is meant in syllables, not in words, right? -_-
and even when counting words it's completely off
