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!

OK, I got it....
Somebody is dead
There are two notes and a hair
Who is the killer?

Only a thread found.
Can this case really be solved?
The tailor says "Yes!"
