So, dear haikuists, the penultimate round ends. And the winners were...
Yyyyyeah, well, about that... I'll have to get back to you, after this last round.
Our tradition here has been anonymity; I'd like to keep it. / So for our last stage, you'll be witnessing two folks use my sockpuppets. / In the comments here, they'll be battling it out, haiku by haiku. / Who the hell are they? I contend it matters not. Just keep track of each.
As with last week's round, our finals will be freeform... with a little catch: / Each posted haiku must begin with the last word of the prior one. / (Said word must be sane-- five syllables is the max, no line-splitters, please.) / Players must take turns; your rival must post haiku before your next one.
The haiku will be posted in the comments here, in a lengthy thread. / Each finalist must post ten haiku in this thread; then the contest ends.
When the dust settles, I'll post both contributors' series of haiku. / Then I'll let you vote, and decide the winner of Haiku Idol 1!
Best of luck to you, and congrats to everyone; it's been fun so far!
(Yes, you noted it: The first player to post here must begin with "far.")
(...Well? What is your deal? Don't just sit there, sockpuppet! Throw the first haiku!)

finalists,
week seven
