Heavensward Primal Haiku Contest (NA) - Discussion Thread

[balthiersake]

Bismark: Oh white wing-ed whale, how you flew so high above, lacking relevance

[Tracewood]

Messed up my haiku, one syllable short on the last line and can't edit it.

Oh well.

[Tracewood]

It was supposed to go:

Primal: Bismark

You have what I need...
They say he's just a fiend?
Oh-ho, baby you...

Chosen Item: Ahriman Choker

Since 3.3 is dropping on June 7th can you add nidhogg to the list of primals to the haiku contest?

Nidhogg is considered a great wyrm, not a primal. Also, honestly speaking from my point of view, the rewards are the same as usual so I'm sure any of your haikus are "worth" posting. I just posted the first thing that came to my mind since it's basically just for fun with no really "serious" rare prizes held in other contests.

I don't really want to write to the address for SE, but I'm pretty sure that the "Bluebird Earrings" is only a single Earring and should drop the "s" since it only shows up on the player's left ear, unless that's been changed since I won the prize a couple years ago.

Can you delete my entry on the contest? I wasted it on Bahamut...>.>

It has been over twenty years since I last wrote a haiku. I was about 11 years old when I last wrote one. It reminded my 6th grade teacher of when he used to live in Connecticut. (Holy moly, I spelled that correctly on the first try!)

Sadly, I wish that I could edit my entry to make it more awesome, though I do understand why I cannot.

So I will provide the improved version of my ode to Ravana:

Alone he looks on
Heroes dance the waltz of war
Blood rains like petals

Will there be an EU version of this competition? I'm an English student in England, and creative writing is really all I'm talented at, so I was really upset to find out that this is North America only meaning that I couldn't enter, since I like writing haiku's.

People of Japan
have been doing this for years
we wouldn't fare well.

I already submitted one officially, but this made me crack a smile:

Sephirot last phase
Earthshakers on the edge, then....
Elusive jump! Wheee!
