The Big Pointy One Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 (edited) For those not yet trained in Bunnish, a lovely, anime-ish young lady reads a proclamation from the master of the mysterious magickal carrot: "Hear ye around me, I have declared it to be A contest you see... A carrot stand first But now there will be a test Of mighty haikus The topic is light like the carnival's delights a happy haiku For it is joyus This occassion of ours now a sweet gathering Now write as you please You mustn't forget the rules For the contest fair Five-seven-five form About anything happy Or something sappy But rule number one It's a carnival we're at So let's have some fun!" So, in case that wasn't clear, the outline is this, I, or rather, Mr.Bunny will be having a contest of Haikus. The topic is happiness; however you can relate to it. Everyone who enters will automatically win a free Mr.Bunny translator and autographed 6x10" picture. The first place winner will win 15 geld, second place will win 10, and third place will win 5! Have fun with it everyone, I know I will! Also, Mr.Bunny will be selling carrots, and carrot-flavoured treats such as carrot cakes, carrot ice-cream, and carrot-o's, Mr.Bunny's 34th liscensed cereal. All these items sell for one (fictional) geld. (y'know, the stuff that you don't have to win) Good eatin'! (Edit: I just realised in my sleepy daze, this could probably fare better off in the Banquet Hall... I mean, it works anywhere, but if those who carry a bit more wisdom than I agree, feel free to move it ^.^) Edited July 6, 2004 by The Big Pointy One Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyrfalcon Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 After review, this topic will be moved and pinned in the Banquet Hall, so it has an event or two in there too. Good luck to all you Haiku people, and if time permits and my limited skill allows, I'll take a shot too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appy Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 *Slowely a heap of greenish-grey blanky makes it's way to the Haiku booth. Appy, with huge amount of blond hair in 'just-woke-up'-coupe, appears out of it holding a grubby piece of paper in her hand, offering it to the bunny* "It was my pleasure To write something so happy and frivol once more" *the piece of paper holds down several scratched through atttempts, and then a final, finished piece* empty mind and soul not having to know it all ignorance is bliss Laughter fills the air Pretty things surrounding me Childish happiness ******************* Silent wind playing Sunbeams highlighting water drops in spider's web ******************* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Pointy One Posted July 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 OOC: Looking good so far, just thought I'd note, if anyone's really blocked for ideas, and don't feel like writing for the topic... I suppose it's cool if you write one. So long as it's a haiku. Winners will be decided whenever the Carnival leaves town, I think... ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonqueen Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Dragonqueen dashes over from her own booth, and grins. She grabs a piece of paper and a pen and scribbles out a haiku. Happiness doesn't have to be as complicated as all that. Comfortable warmth. Good food to eat. Being dry. Happiness. Simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katzaniel Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Blissful emotions: Love life and lie in the sun, All joy will be yours. BPO: If the prize is awarded too late, the winner won't be able to spend the geld. Unless, of course, the geld will stick around afterward? I think it would be cool if we kept it there, personally.

cryptomancer Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 A Raven, katana on his back, lands in the hut, With reverence he draws a silver scroll case from the pouch on his belt, and from it a scroll, written in the words of black glittered with silver dust, he reveals his work. Meditation love Mysteriously mind held Beach beyond compare Bowing low he steps back, and flys away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cryptomancer Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 (edited) The raven suddenly appears in the hut once more, and this time with sword drawn. He flips the scroll he just placed into the air, and in the swift skilled stroke of his true self, separates its shape into two parts, each land on the table and unroll, revealing a new work on each. contemplate beauty elementalist true fire loved poetic muse and dream's darkness shaping beauty revealing in fullness resonate with love Sheathing his blade, he once more bows, turns and flys away.

The Big Pointy One Posted July 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 OOC POST: Katz: Good point, Prizes shall be awarded in... 4 days! Hurry up folks, time's running out! Quincunx: (Can I refer to you as Tzim, by the way? I'm used to doing that...) A hearty effort, but your accent is a bit off. What you have there is actually goldfish. If it were in bunny, it'd appear as so: ... Here's a little lesson in bunny-esque: Any written part of bunny-esque will appear simply as "..." for all speech is reduced to simply "..." In any case where the speech is interrupted by a long pause or another person's speech, then spacing may be appropriate. Anyways, in poetry, bunny-esque seems evasive around forms all together. "..." really says it all ;p Regardless, an enthralling poem, definitely worth considering... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincunx Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Well, that's what comes of trying to pass off Carp's work as my own, I suppose. *writes "Plagiarism is bad" on a scrap of paper, later to be inserted into the Tips jar* Call me Tzim, Rydia, Minta, be weird and call me Rose, just don't call me late to dinner.

Salinye Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 Mister Bunny, friend Master of Haiku, the art Wisdom please impart I gave my muse a Gentle shove-five seven five Happiness did strive Here I sit in awe And wonder if I will pass Rabbit’s haiku class Happiness I long Have held. Don’t you think those who Try should get some geld? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xaious, Master of Time Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 Hmm. If that is Bunny-esque, then I must try it myself...it seems so close to my normal..um...speech..... Or something... ". .." How's that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Pointy One Posted July 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 (edited) (More OOC fun!) Tzim: Awesome. Sal: But of course, everyone will be getting mystery prizes, some of which will be geld, the rest of which will be mysterious... after all is said and done (I think I'm actually going to bump it to tomorrow, say at 3:00 pm, my time... whatever that is...) Regardless, I'll go with my original prize structure with the top 3 winning larger prizes, but everyone who enters will receive a geld, along with the prizes mentioned for every entrant. Of course, only 1 geld will be awarded per entrant, but the more you enter, the higher chance you have of winning! Everyone else: I'm loving your entries so far, it's going to be a hard time choosing! Keep 'em coming ^.^ (IC) Mr.Bunny carefully examines Xaious' piece of haiku with much consideration. He thinks for a few moments, hands Xaious and autographed picture and an official Mr.Bunny translator (a pair of fake bunny ears you wear on your head) After Xaious nervously tries it on, Mr.Bunny says: "..." (Well, you're almost there, unfortunately, you forgot about the 5-7-5 format, so I can't award you anything yet. However, here's a 100-point carrot badge! All for effort!)

Xaious, Master of Time Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 (edited) Xaious frowns slightly at this... How about... . . . And, hopefully this is what I said..

Merelas Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 The sweet feel of love Racing quickly through my veins As I speak to her And when we're apart I think of her and I smile Because of her beauty So much in common So much time spent together So much love we share ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ I didn't know if it was all right to do more than one verse... and I just did this for my happiness haiku because love is happiness in my opinion, so that's that! It's my first one, so don't make fun of me, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peredhil Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 I sit painfully, Enjoying being alive. She is beautiful. It hurts so sweetly, To see her given away. Radiant Bride's face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Pointy One Posted July 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Xaious - well done, and you'll see later as to a reward ^.^ Merelas - HA HA HA!!! YOU SUCK!!! ...just kidding... the more verses the merrier; I personally enjoy doing multiple verses as well. I don't think it's *proper* haiku format, but that isn't a factor in this contest. ^.^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salinye Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 I cannot express what love is to me, for it is within. It is the air that I breathe. It gives me reasons worth living. It’s in the thoughts of my mind. Making memories forever cherished. It’s in the beat of my heart. It inspires me to forget all past pains. I am here because love is within me. I shall never let go.
