Contest: Win A Copy of Borderlands!
It's been a while since we had a good old fashioned haiku contest and since I have a copy of Borderlands for the Xbox 360 in my hot little hands, I thought it was time for another.
Here are the rules: create an original haiku using Borderlands as the theme and post it in the comments section of this article. The winner will be announced at this same time tomorrow. Haiku are relatively simple to write but in case you are not familiar with them, I shall elucidate. They consist of three lines with a 5-7-5 syllable count as so:
Borderlands is sweet, Space western in the desert All weapons are mine
Clearly this example is absolutely terrible so it shouldn't be too hard to come up with something really good. Now you have 24 hours to get your haiku in so get those creative juices flowing!
if you'd like to know a little bit more about Borderlands, you can read my preview of it here.
Note: This contest is for US residents only
