Mini Challenge #13

Haiku Time!

- Rules -

The host (currently, me) gives you a topic of interest to get you going.
You may enter up to a maximum of three competition images/screenshots.
The host chooses the winner after the challenge closes. The decision of the judge (the host) is final. The judge is not eligible.
The winner then chooses the next topic, runs the challenge, judges the winner, and passes on the baton to that person. (Kind of like pass the parcel)

- Summary -

For this challenge, your goal is to visualize your very own Haiku. So start thinking of a haiku and try to make fitting images to show it to us! You're totally free regarding the presentation of your haiku. If you have absolutely no idea what a Haiku is, you can use this link to find out.

- Conditions -

You are allowed to use any program to present your haiku. Photoshop is certainly allowed and you're even free to make a video (so Adobe Final Cut or Elements is allowed as well). If you're planning on making a video, please keep it under a minute. Comics are allowed as well. Pictures or Video's have to be ROSE related.

- Prizes -

The winner will receive 300 Item Mall points worth of prizes, provided by Gravity Interactive and handled by Community Manager Zeppelin.
You will only receive these 300 Item Mall points worth of prizes, after you have posted the next Mini Challenge.

To claim your prize, simply send a Private Message to Zeppelin linking him to your new Mini Challenge and providing a list of Item Mall items you'd like, up to 300 points in value.
Be sure to include the "SERVER" and "CHARACTER" name that the items will be sent to.

If you submit a photo, please check in when the winners are posted. The first place winner is expected to host the next challenge. If the first place person cannot host, it moves to the 2nd place, etc.

- Posting Guidelines -

Images posted should ideally be 800 x 600 in size for viewing purposes. I'm going to be more strict about this then anyone has been thusfar. If you upload a screenshot that doesn't fit on a 600x800 monitor I will ignore your contribution. I'm getting a bit irritated of people uploading pictures that are filling my entire screen. On a side note: If your making a comic, the width of the image has to be 800 but the length may be longer then 600 of course.

Pictures or video's made on your own private server are not allowed.

Participants should not feel restricted they have to make the best picture, but can be as creative as you feel necessary.
Therefore I will choose whichever has one of the most creative entry.
+Votes may also be taken into account but it won't determine the winner.

Haiku is in fact a small poem

A small example.
How to write a ROSE Haiku.
Here is how it works.

Okay this is a small example of a haiku. A haiku is build up in 17 syllables (and for all the die hards I know this is not entirely true but let's keep it simple )

A small ex am ple (5 syllables)
how to write a rose hai ku (7 syllables)
here is how it works (5 syllables)

So each haiku is build up in 3 sentences. The first and the last containing 5 syllables each, the middle one 7 syllables.

Welcome to hell child
You shall suffer greatly here
Victory is mine

So if I make images for this? This a valid haiku? lol

U.W., is it good?
No honor, bloody murder..
No life will remain.

Will get pics added soon

[gEddeh]

do we have to make 3 hakus for the 3 images? or just 1 haiku and 3 different images???

That is up to you You can enter a maximum of 3 contributions so if you think you need 3 pictures to tell one Haiku then be my guest! Only point is that I don't think that 1 haiku needs more then 3 screenshots to explain

So if I make images for this? This a valid haiku? lol

Images, comic or video is up to you It's a good haiku, interested in how you are going to visualize it

P.S. do you know a good free program for putting one picture on top of another... i thought it would be easy, but then i figured out my photo editor is crap. lol

Well you can also get 3 seperate pictures and put them right under each other. If not use Paint?

Just pointing it out :x unless I'm being st00pid? ._. Or another way to say that sentence lol

[gEddeh]

Ah you're right Howie that is indeed no haiku!

On a side note: Haiku's aren't supposed to be violent. I see 2 (and a half) haiku now that are all about concurring, death and distruction :<

Haha sorry, how about you give us a good example to lead everyone in the way? It is a rather confusing one to link it to rose..
With an example i do mean also with screenshots so we have an idea of what you would like to see when you ask for us to put haiku's

[size=2]

Yeah it might take me a little bit, but I'm trying. Thank you btw. I'm not the best at photoshop or anything, so if anyone wants to help me? If that is allowed of course, I'll split my winnings with ya if I win. haha

Is mine violent/death/descruction? haha I'm confused, you said it was good and now I'm thinking mine is one of the 2 1/2.

[gEddeh]

Never said that is not good. Merely said that Haiku's are mostly not based on such aggresive thoughts

[SirSlayer]

Haiku dedicated to my newest Toon.

Meet my newest toon,
Witness the Juggernaught called,
DeeFence, the Wand Knight.

Fear the Juggernaught called,

I believe 'called' has only 1 syllable... I could be wrong though.

If it does, I'll change it. Wasn't sure myself tho.

I'm no poet and I know it.
