I hate how the ones that are picked to be voted on don't follow the 3-5-3 or 5-7-5 half the time

All of the entries have the correct format of 5-7-5 don't they? Which ones do you think have the wrong syllable counts?

These all follow the correct format. You just obviously don't know how to count syllables.

Ok up until now I at least could vote for one of them. But this batch? Perhaps two of them are haiku and not that good ones; the rest are just sentences split with slashes.

I find it pretty funny how quick people were to jump all over Fusion's haiku calling foul, claiming it has nothing to do with WoW. Do you want to know how I know you are new to the game?
It is by far the best Haiku that we have seen to date for this contest. If you didnt catch the reference, you probably aren't a very good judge as to what is WoW related and what isn't.

Lol my bro wrote one like.. "My guild won the keys/ but we disbanded the guild/ blizzard said get out." lol true story he got pwned. anyway i think its better than $%^& like "The Wolpertinger / It frolics past the rum jugs / Which now lie empty" imo..

By the way, while I'm here, I got a syllabic question for y'all.
Is Ironforge 2 or 3 syllables? I figure 3, like I-ron-forge (well, I-urn-forge if you want to be phonetic), but I wanted make sure it wasn't Eirn-Forge or something.
I was gonna post one about Ironforge, but on the off chance that it actually gets picked, I didn't want people to spend hours debating whether it was legit or not, so I figured I'd get some opinions.

Well, I-ron is 2 syllables and forge is 1.
I would go with 3.

That's what I figured, I'll go with 3 then. Thanks.
Not that it's gonna get picked, but at the very least, it's good exercise for my poetry muscles.

Are the old ones listed somewhere? I missed a couple of days, and I'd like to read the haiku submissions from those days. I know I can't vote on them anymore, but hey, they're amusing.
