The papayas last submission
The Punkin grew up,
With all his brother Gourdlings
And sister candy
In a small village,
Where they ate sister candy
Was where they grew up
It broke Punkin's heart,
So off he ran, off he ran,
He was so sad, so sad
To remember sis,
Is what the Dark Harvest is,
But we still don't know.
So next time you see,
The mourning Punkin grinning,
You must take his sis.
He might start to hiss,
But knows his heart can't be fixed,
So fades into mist

Graveyard Gala
His grim grin greets them
"The grand gourd's ground," they grumble.
"Grab my sweets, galore!"
First line is third person, second line is the knights' perspective and third line is Punkin King's perspective. :D

The papaya submits the final submission XD
[I know I keep on saying "last submission", but making Haikus is fun =) ]
"Pun"! The punkin yells
Pointing at the small gourdling
I.Am.Your.Farther.
Just a bit of a star wars reference =)

The papaya faints
I feel like my Haiku was done by a kinder-gardener compared to you all 0_0, well I give up XD. Good luck everyone =)
Just gonna submit one last one (not sure if that's true XD) Oh, and I haven't given up =) Papayas never give up
"Admins"
Admins get candy
As much candy as they want
Not too fair for us :(
They don't have to fight
The punkin which makes us cry
And those darn gourdlings
But I don't really care =)
Cause after eating candy
They all get bad teeth XD
Um, that wasn't too insulting was it?
"Nick and the Punkin"
The Punkin had thought,
That like all other pumpkins,
That he had been planted
But he was so wrong,
Punkin would've never guessed
The one who made him
He was created
By a man who's name was Nick
A bold, smart, strong man
And Punkin envied,
The power of the man, Nick
So he was removed
But on Halloween
The grim Punkin would come back
And rule over all
Once his rule ceased,
He would always remind us,
That he will be back
I actually have no idea what Nick looks like XD Oh well

Crushed and Laughing
Souls have been crushed, Hearts shattered, Minds brutally broken. Insanity reign here, in the dark depths of dissapointment. Translation- I am sad I lost. Looks like I shall never win one of these.... But that is okay. I feel happy for all the winners. Good show! Good show! At least the winners wrote well, and the pieces were valid. So, Bookdrake bows respectfully. (clap) Bookdrake Salutes the Competition! Next year, comrades! there is always next year! So do not despair yet. And to all those who bitterly whine and jealously complain...Grow up and find a different forum to spam with your dramatic griefing. I for one find that I can respect all the winners, for they DESERVED to win. So there. Bookdrake out.

@Deluxeloy:
@Deluxeloy: Genius.
@Bookdare: Don't give up, man, but remember to count your syllables next time! (One of your haiku ended with 8, which I'm sure disqualifies you. So just remember to watch that - your stuff was good otherwise.)
Thu, 11/01/2012 - 14:15

Because shoarma.
A common mistake
Is to put four syllables
In the last sentence

@Bookdare
Your effort was impressive, don't feel sad in any way!
Remember; Halloween is but another holiday. There's always Christmas and stuff coming up.
I'd bet they'll hold a lot more contests and community things around there, so if you by any chance feel for trying once more, I wish you the best of luck!
And just I got to give you a salute for your sportsmanship. o7

Oy! Wait!
Everyone's haikuing on the end of the contest, might as well join in!
I think my counting
Was careful, but with rushing
And admiring mine
Which is really strange,
For my work is horrible
But I did like mine
Nevertheless, I
Congratulate the winners,
Who also wrote well
May you all enjoy
Your prizes, which you, working
Hard, do quite deserve
And closing my poem,
Which was another reason
For my not winning
(It should be just one
And not many others, which
I yet did create)
I say you farewell
Hope for the same fun next time
I did enjoy this
-Remiliaoftheearth
Besides, I jumped around a bit, which must be somewhat unnerving.
Good haikus, everyone!
And a second congratulation to the winners!

Names and Things
Who is this Book-Dare?
Most likely you mean Bookdrake,
For that is my name.
Books contain dragons,
They are also called Drakes!
Story of my name....
Lastly, syllables
Can be stressed to modify
Pronounciation...
Frankly, I am sad.
At the same time, I am glad.
No sore winners here!
Truly, it is grand
That no one brags or griefs here.
True victors abound!
Congradulations!
To the knights who wrote haikus.
Achieving glory.
Help me please, kind sirs!
I cannot seem to stop this!
Now I'm addicted!
Darn! So many haikus!
Quickly flashing through my mind...
I can't seem to stop!
.........
Yes, I CAN! I have stopped, glory to all! Hooray, hoorah! Congrajulations this Fall! To you and to me, Knights in the breeze! Fighting for glory, honor, and sweets! Aww crud, the power of ballads! They have taken o'er, my pen is askew! No way for me save myself! I find solace in the slavery of tune... Why must i fight for the attentions of others?!? When clearly I have the greatest treasure of all! It because I have you, my shield brothers! A family of guilds and loners as one.... Ok. I think I finally got the poetry outta me. Thats a relief!

The gourds are long gone,

Hi hi Eurydice<3
I submitted my winning haiku after finishing my Spiral Knights pumpkin entry just before the deadlines. I totally missed handing out candies to the kiddies while carving the pumpkin. However, my friend, TheBadger, left many candy wrappers in the room whilst assisting me with handing me tools during the great pumpkin operation. So that haiku is somewhat about TheBadger's candy addiction and conclusion of the Dark Harvest events.
Thanks so much for running these mini events, Eury. As you can see, the knights are enjoying the mini events so much, that they continue to keep the thread alive even after the event has ended.
I'm still on the mend from a very painful illness that landed me in the hospital last month. When I am back to 100% TheBadger and I will start running events again like we did last year.
Much love,
Raspberry
