After intense deliberation, a couple of stiff drinks and my girlfriends input the winning entry has been chosen:
Dead leaves fall outside
Reminding me of beating
Zelda the first time

Awesome job everyone. I thought this was a fun little contest and I hope you all agree. Anyway, keep your eyes peeled for the next free giveaway.











I’m going to say that a haiku isn’t really a haiku if sentences are split up to make the syllables work. as far as I’m concerned, each line should be a full clause because otherwise it’s too easy.

Charles, I really liked your entry. However, this was less about the Hiaku and more about the idea. The winning entry won because it not only specifically mentioned a Nintendo product, but it really made me feel like I was 8 years old again. Sweet nostalgia.
But really, good job everyone. Dont worry, Ill be giving away plenty more stuff.

Interesting topic… I’m working in this industry myself and I don’t agree about this in 100%, but I added your page to my bookmarks and hope to see more interesting articles in the future…
