: It's time for the Big Brother Haiku Contest! Each of you will be writing a haiku about yours truly, Glen the Ariados, and sending it to him privately in the Diary Room!
Participants: Swimmerson, Janice, Rotiart, Marinette, Pounce, Elle, Robin, Sobek
Sitting out: Stoney (as outgoing HOH he is not allowed to compete)
: So everyone probably knows this already but put briefly, a haiku is form of Japanese poetry with 3 unrhymed lines. The lines are 5, 7, and 5 syllables in that order.
Anyway the theme for this comp is that the haiku has to either say something nice about Glen or insult Glen. It's your choice which one you want to do. You'll have 48 hours (So until January 22, 2:00 PM EST) to send me one only in the Diary Room. You must not reveal to anybody which one is yours, or post yours in the thread. After I recieve one haiku from all of you or time runs out (whichever comes first), I'll post them all in the thread without sharing who wrote them, and some judges I picked out will rank them from favourite to least favourite. Points will be distributed based on these rankings. The houseguest who wrote the haiku that gets the most points from all the judges added together will be the HOH this week.
Once you submit one it can't be changed, and if there's a tie, we'll move on to a tiebreaker comp.
(Remember that like always if you don't want to compete, forfeit the comp in the diary room so I don't keep waiting for you to send an answer in.)

#1: Off to an okay start, though whether pastry-expenditure makes for a good haiku subject, I'm not sure. 6/8
#2: Quite a bit of stating the obvious here, and a bit of pandering to the host. Not as descriptive as the previous. 3/8
#3: Slightly less stating the obvious, but still quite a bit, as well as some pandering. Perhaps better than the previous, but not the very first. 4/8
#4: Not sure the sentence structure really works here, but it's better than most so far. 5/8
#5: Now, this is what a haiku is meant to be: Full of heartfelt feeling, and highly evocative. Best so far. 7/8
#6: Little description, and barely hides that the author is pandering in hopes of currying favour. Worst so far. 1/8
#7: Again, little description, and possibly the most redundant of the bunch, each line carrying the same meaning. I'm somewhat torn as to whether to award this with less than the previous or not. 2/8
#8: The best was saved for last here - this has genuine imagery, which creates a gorgeous picture in the mind's eye. 8/8
Edit: No points have been lost by anyone for pandering per se. It's doing so in a non-descriptive fashion which is what loses the points.

Sir Big Brother Universe Creator Henry Porkins Kuzunoha the 14th:
8 for singling out the o and therefore insulting my intelligence < 2 < 1 < 7 < 5 < 4 < 3 < 6 for honesty and addressing the very real of sometimes not knowing what appeals to you when looking at something but still feeling gravitated towards it, I sure felt like that during most of my decisions in this ranking. Very on-point social commentary!
