Introduction
 I epitomize
Open books and closed parties
By choice or breaking 
Haiku, a form of Japanese poetry, is made up of three lines. The first line is five syllables. The second is seven. The third goes back to five. Haiku is an excellent way of representing something in very few words. It gives the writer a challenge of stripping down a lengthy poem into the bare, raw meaning. It is finding that meaning that makes haiku so beautiful. The contest
It's straightforward enough: Write a haiku. It can be funny, sad, strange. It can be about raisin bran or about flying, leaves or air conditioners. It will be judged on the quality of the portrayal of the message, not on the message itself. The haiku, obviously, may not break LiveWire's guidelines, nor be offensive to a particular race or religion. If a submission is found to be offensive, it will be disqualified. These haiku's should not bring forth a hateful message. Plagiarism will be based on an honor system. I won't disqualify anybody for plagiarism without specific evidence, but if I find somebody to have cheated they will be disqualified and publicly shunned on this post. Judges, Points, and Dates, oh my!
I need three judges. I'll make a group for discussion. PM me if you are interested by December 16th, 2008. The contest ends on December 31st, 2008, and the winner will be announced January 10th, 2009. POINTS
1st Place: 210 points
2nd Place: 155 points
3rd Place: 85 points

Black, get in the back, Brown can stick around, but not with me,
Yellow, best not be mellow, the Red band can go to hell man,
And White, continue to do what's always right.

If it doesn't fit in as a haiku then it can't be considered.

I just lost my train of thought. Or is it thoughts? That isn't supposed to be considered.
It's a good start, finish it.
Once upon a time
No fairy tales existed
Just raw emotions Well, that ended bad.
Indeed that haiku
sucked, it did, to great extent
Expectedly so
