Do you dream in syllables? Do you feel the need to write poetry in Japanese plum gardens? Have you ever turned in a book report written entirely in haiku form? Whether you’re an aspiring haiku newbie or a zen master of 19 syllable rhyme, you should participate in September’s monthly contest by writing your very own LEGO Universe-themed haiku!

haiku in LU
unleash the Shakespeare inside
pineapplesaurus


For those of you who aren’t familiar with haiku, here’s a quick summary: haiku is a traditional form of short Japanese poetry that uses a limited number of syllables to rhyme. There are two poplar types of haiku – ones with 3/5/3 or 5/7/5 tempos.

A 3/5/3 haiku uses 3 syllables in its first line, 5 in its second line, and 3 in its third line, like so:

lone Stromling
prancing in the field
picks flowers


A 5/7/5 haiku uses 5 syllables in its first line, 7 in its second line, and 5 in its third line, like so:

Nexus Tower built!
who sells all the cool items?
it’s a Mr. Ree


Your LEGO Universe haiku can be sad or meaningful:

Stromling Admiral…
why dost thou shoot at me so?
bullies don’t make friends


Or tender and romantic:

beautiful Sky Lane!
hair so lovely, smirk so cute!
melt my plastic heart


Or just ridiculous and silly:

back in days of yore
fancy pants were often called
fancy pantaloons


There are literally millions of possible haikus that you could write! To enter, upload your best LEGO Universe-themed haikus to the Official LEGO Universe Haiku Contest Entry Thread between September 1st and September 30th, 2011. Three winners from the 12 & under and 13 & older age groups will win a prize pack worth writing home about, and have their winning haikus featured on the LEGO Universe website!

I've got no place to go, I've got nowhere to run.
They love to watch me fall, they think they know it all.
I'm a nightmare, a disaster, that's what they always said.
I'm a lost cause, not a hero, but I'll make it on my own.
I've gotta prove them wrong - It's me against the world.
Quote
It is, in the end, whatever the **** I want it to be.
And when I'm through with it, it's gonna blow a hole this wide
straight through the worlds own idea of itself.
...
Come on, lets go break their arms.
