The poetry mastery of our very own Doctor Oak. Profound, isn't it?

This year for Pokecharms Day we'd like to celebrate things in a way that everyone can participate... and what could be easier than writing simple haiku-like poetry? In the spirit of Professor Oak (the master of Pokemon senryū), we'd like to hear some Pokemon poems from you guys. Whether it be about a specific Pokemon or an aspect of Pokemon in general, the choice is yours.

The guidelines are as simple as they sound. Write a Pokemon-related haiku-like poem consisting of three lines and up to 17 syllables. Then, PM your poem to me with the subject title "Pokecharms Day Haiku Contest".

The contest will run for a week, ending at Midnight GMT on March 24th. Once all of the entries have been collected, a voting process will be set up for the community itself to determine the best poems. Prizes will be announced at a later time.

So, show us your own mastery of words and drop us a poem - but only one poem per member please. Even if you don't feel creative, give it a few minutes of thought and take a shot :)

For those that are either dumb and don't get how syllables work or haven't a clue what a Haiku is, you need 5 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second and 5 again in the third.

Having about 25 syllables in the first line, 15 in the second and 30 in the third IS NOT a Haiku... so don't waste your time or ours... >>
