Voted for Cyfenwadau.
The best one of the very, very few today, I would consider to meet Haiku standard from the content. Instead of simply placing a "/" in a sentence describing nabs doing stupid things.
Well done, hope you get one :)

The atypical "Son, I am disappoint." response. I was a bit late in turning in mine but I thought some of them were clever-- some of the ones I've read are just not clever at all, but that's just my tastes, I'm sure they're as deserving as I would have felt had I been chosen. That being said, it does seem a bit random in choices.
ETA: I also agree that a lot of these are just sentences with slashes placed appropriately.

Do not fear tough times
Glyph of divine shield will do
Like saronite bombs
You don't frighten me
Cataclysm sounds hot though
Not as hot as love
Mine didn't make it :(

Hey me too:
Spells, arrows, swords, shields / The once proud prince, Kael'thas, falls. / "Merely a setback."
Druids trampled, crushed / Children run. The sky turns dark. / Deathwing hates The Park.
Ranged are forced to split. / One lone hunter makes his plea, / "Physical realm please."
Time-Lost Proto Drake / An ironic name, 'tis true / In time, will be found.
Bolvar Fordragon / Plagued, burnt, lost, his sad fate thus. / Jailer of the Damned.
Man from Gilneas / Scratched, clawed, rough life. Having a... / Worgen for a wife.
Orc defies master. / Booterang is flung, impact! / "Okay, me go work."
"Dimwitted buffoon," / Sylvanas shrieks at Garrosh. / They can't see, it's love.
Mage and rogue run out. / "1 for summons." Ill-fated. / Different phases.
Thoughts turn to madness / The man fades into darkness. / The worgen remains.
These feverish dreams / My maddened thoughts or their will? / Old Gods speak to me
With cry, he charges / Confusion, his allies fall. / "...Least I have chicken."
Crisp air stings my face / Northrend chilled me to the core / Now, the journey home
Focused by our rage. / Yet we are legion, many. / Stick around, BONESTORM!
Why don't girls like me? / My plague? My choking gas bombs? / Bad news, I'm lonely.

Might be hard going through thousands of entries.

Well grats to those who won and who will win in the final countdown. I am somewhat overall disappointed, not per say that I wasn't chosen just the amount of bad ones that were chosen. But a fun contest nonetheless. Mine were...
Treasure for Lafoo / Never the dumb puppy-men / Treasure for the Shrine!
(Didn't like this one myself but it was my first post. If you've ever done the dailies for Oracles you will know what it means.)
The heart of Arthas... / A Lich King's folly - no trust / The heart of Bolvar...
(Referencing the quests in Icecrown that involve Tirion destroying the heart of Arthas and if something will be made of Bolvar in the future.)
The might of Titans / Such single-minded fury / They have lost their grip
(A hint of lore to Sargeras and the upcoming changes to fury warrior, i.e.
Titan's Grip
and the addition of
Single-minded Fury
.)
The paladins moo / The warriors crave mana / The shamans are drunk
(Simple reference to Cata's Pally Taurens, Belf Warriors and Dwarf Shamans.)
I got my essence / The primal and eternal / Why so volatile?
(Vanilla= Essence, BC=Primal, WotLK=Eternal, Cata=Volatile)
When I PvP / None see me, til' I ambush / Sorry, you mad bro?
(Don't believe I need to explain this one :P)
This is the Barrens / Is John Madden really dead? / Chuck Norris is God
Hide your Gnomes n' Dwarves / Thrall's snatchin' your people up / Gankin' nubs our here
(A failed attempt to reference Antoine Dodson immortalized by
Autotunethenews
.)
Those are the ones I remember and yes - I do know how much someone of them suck XD

This. This, so hard. Half of these "Haikus" are just putting slashes between sentences of WoW jokes / puns / stereotypes.

Some of mine and my brothers haiku, which didn't get into the contest...
Problems with hard boss? / I have the answer for you! / Kite him to Vael's room!
Great news everyone! Rotface and Festergut dead! Putricide is next.
Inconceivable! / Foolsss.. Kill the one in the dress! / No! This cannot be!
Master will have you / You will drown in your own blood / The world shall burn! Aaaghh!
Linken is missing! / No compass, no map, no key! / Wish he was here! - Z
I am Paladin / Cleansing the world of evil / With Powers of Light
Command all the stars, / the moon and the sun! That my / friend... Is Moonkin fun.

I seriously think that the haikus posted on the reply section are MUCH better than most of the ones that were submitted through the entire contest...
Well done posters, very nice haikus
