Just 3 haiku's I made:
"Ruins of Time"
Red, Yellow, Blue Lights
The moon grows dark with the smoke
Above new river
"Hop"
Leaving now behind
The hands of my watch move back
Past events undone
The last ones not as good IMHO:
"Orb"
My heads rocked by pain
The images flash, Recalled
By mind now set free

Rose wins, like, a million points for posting this.
YE RULES:
1. Entries must be timestamped by 12:01 a.m. Mountain time (in keeping with the theme of 'why on earth is everything in Mountain time'), February 1st. So by Sunday night, basically.
2. Five, seven, five. No, seriously, that's how you do it.
3. The winner will be decided by me, and I'll probably ask Rose to help out too. All decisions are final, but judges are open to cajoling and/or bribery.
4. PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD: New! Exciting! Democratic! I'll take the best ones and make a poll out of them. Whoever gets the most votes in some period of time will be the official PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD WINNER, and will win some sort of prize.
5. Gurer vf ab ehyr ahzore svir.
Have fun!
