CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR WINNERS!

theonetheonlybruce

You'll be getting your PM's shortly!

------------------------------------------------------------

We have a great opportunity for everyone here, free stuff!! *Applause*

We have graciously been given some keycodes for the new Grenth and Dwayna costumes to give away for free! We have 2 Grenth and 1 Dwayna up for grabs and to give this a bit of a challenge we're going to ask for some Haiku's about Wintersday.

Hopefully a little bit of fun and a break from your busy work days (yes, the majority of people on this site right now are slacking off in their offices, so don't let the boss see.)

What's a Haiku? Common question. Here's a detailed description of it: http://www.wikihow.com/Write-a-Haiku-Poem

For those who just need a refresher and to break it down simply.

Quote:

The most common form for Haiku is three short lines. The first line usually contains five (5) syllables, the second line seven (7) syllables, and the third line contains five (5) syllables. Haiku doesn't rhyme.

We're going to take some liberties and the whole "paint a mental image" can be taken out. Make them funny, witty, serious, ode's to ArenaNet, we don't care! Just have fun. Here's a couple our staff came up with on the spot:

Wintersday is great
It means there are snowball fights
But then I don't win

-------------------------------------

Guild Wars Wintersday
Reguritated Content
Why do we still play

-------------------------------------

Winter in the air
Ascalon to great No. wall
Snowballs in my hair

-------------------------------------

Anet loves the snow
Wintersday and snowball fights
Candy cane and gifts

How can you win: Write the Haiku and post it here in this thread. Our staff will randomly pick 3 winners from the entries. I will send you a PM if your's is chosen with the keycode! That simple. We'll keep this open for 24 hours starting from the time it's posted, one entry per person please. HAVE FUN!

Winter is upon us again
Dwayna and Grenth fight for honour again
From their snowy snowforts.

Wintersday is here.
Oh my gosh ur joking right?
No this is for real.

Wintersday has come.
But surprise there’s nothing new.
This haiku is sad.

Dwayna is a girl.
It's Battles of the Sexes
Cuz Grenth is a man.

These haikus are fun.
Wintersday really isn’t. <-----I guess the one I'm entering.
Oh ANet I’m sad.

This is about snow.
Or how about Wintersday.
Crap now it’s over.

Now I’m just rambling.
All I want is a costume.
Don’t worry I’m done.

I just want a bear.
A white, fluffy polar bear.
But I won't get it.

Polar Bears are old.
They're impossible to get.
