Default Haiku Contest

Some dimiss haikus due to their brevity, but in actuality they are one of the most difficult structures to write in: you have seventeen syllables to paint a picture that will last--haikus are generally focused on physical images, rather than abstract ideas or symbols.

To appreciate this powerful medium of prose: a contest! Keep them serious, please; and feel free to critique, though I'd prefer entries over criticisms. Make sure to give them names: after a sufficient number have been posted, we can make a poll to decide the 'best' haiku--one entry per user, please.

Here's my entry, which I wrote for a poetry project not too long ago:

The City Slumbers

The city slumbers
unaware of the thunder
on the horizon.
