Last time we caught up with the winners of the random drawing portion of the Hunter Pet Haiku Contest. Today I wanted to spotlight the other 43 (!) entries.

At this point I am not going to attach names to the entries because I don’t want the votes turning into a personal popularity contest. *grin*

Feel free to discuss the entries in the comments, but do please be polite. In particular, I’ve decided to accept these entries as valid, so let’s not quibble about syllables.

Remember, if you want to vote you can either hit the forums or e-mail me and I’ll add your vote to the total.

So here, without further ado, are the rest of the haiku! (Yes, that rhymed.)

Group #1:

#1:

They dance on the wind
Young gods that spit sapphire bolts.
Electrifying

I travel the land
My Pet Amiir by my side
And bow on my back

Hound of fire and ice
Demonic companion
The Vargul Blighthound

Such a plain old cat
Broken Tooth fast as a flash
How I miss you so

Storm-shroud she entered
My dearest Arikara
Thunder of my heart

Grim Totems Are Near
As The Ghosts Of Wolves Appear
Time Is All You Fear

Lovely white Tiger
left alone in the stable,
while Wolf comes on raids.

Skoll gives chase to prey
Gun roars with fire and thunder
Life wanes, crimson snow

Silently Watchful
Ready to Defend my life
Should the need Arise

Evanescent beast
Prowling the walls of Zul’drak
Behold Gondria

Prey sighted ahead
Spirit Beast lopes at my side
THIS is true freedom

There he stands, King Krush,
My heart beats vigorously,
A most royal tame.

He rests peacefully
Beneath the Joshua tree
Truly king of beasts

Floating On The Breeze
As They Glow and Glide With Ease
Sporebat Expertise

Enter, I will not
Wolf mine, Fenrir, feeding needs
Haiku, hard is

a feral druid
would make an excellent pet
but a wolf will do

I have this kick-ass turtle,
no furious howl

Dim Pitch cat of mine
Who uses Rake on Anub?

My trap held your blue
Ironhide Devilsaur eyes
Named you Sinatra

Pitch is the Cat King,
When referred to as Humar,
Will rip your face off!

Muscles Powerful
Claws and teeth a deadly spear
Hidden Elegance

In stables I lay
The sentimental first pet
Just waiting for you

Bow And Arrow Strung
Your Hunt For Krush Has Begun
Hope And Fear As One

A pop and crackle
You never know what hit you
When stalked through warped space.

The Beast fears nothing
He makes us live our nightmares
I want him so much

Hey it’s a rare spawn!
I’ll try to tame it quickly!
This is why I play!

He governs the stars
The spirit beast Arcturis
Lord of the night sky

Verdant scales glisten
Shining amber orbs tempt me
At long last he yields

Old Cliffjumper leaps
Twists and flings off gravity
Earth cannot hold him

Lightning upon blue
Skoll raises his mighty head
Sky echoes his roar

See Spot exiled in
human Theramore, panting
he longs for Mulgore.

Mysterious cat
Solid and yet transparent
A ghost to command

Sounds of old forest
Within a posse of apes
Loque struts primal

Fused Dragons and Hawks as Twins
Purging All Your Sins

Little worm within the chasm
I will call you Jim.

I rejoice tonight

As Deadly as a viper
Prowls in the Shadows

A Worgen to stand beside.
Always will be missed.
