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'd like to introduce everyone to my new word, 'humtwizzled', which was coined to describe the feeling you get when you suddenly complete a villain hunt much faster than you thought you were going to.

Coincidentally it's also the feeling I got when after I'd been manically villain hunting all week I finally got round to checking the boards and read the results of the haiku competition.

Huge congrats to all, and big thanks to Anikka & the judges for making us use our writing brains!
