Do you write haiku?
Syllables begin with five,
Then seven, then five.
And now your challenge -
We all love a mystery!
Write one for us, please.
Of course, there are rules;
Mysteries must be Haiku.
Here's an example:
She died at midnight;
Sherry and strychnyne don't mix...
The butler did it.
One haiku is all
You have to tell your story.
(Much unlike these rules)
Spelling's important;
So is plot, so be careful!
And it MUST make sense.
You may want a prize.
In fact, there will be prizes!
...When I think of some.
August thirty one -
Last date of submissions, please,
Just before midnight;
Exact server time
Is eleven fifty nine.
Don't miss the deadline!

I dedicate this poem to Stooby, not morbid and still a mystery to some:
Jelly donut, good
How did the jelly get in?
I don't really care

I see no seam. None.
How do they make the T-shirts?
The ones with no seam?

Why is Sleuth so slow?
Are the Servers running low?
Wake up Sleuth and go.

Why did he do it?
Someone tell me why he did.
Then where is he hid?

The snow fell to ground,
The scene, footprints all around,
Winter, easy case!

He died in the street
But who would kill poor Stooby?
Give up? It was me!

He phoned her again
this time there was no answer
he smiled, it is done.
