As a bit of fun, we thought we would run a little contest on the Official WICKED UK forum.

Your challenge is to create a haiku about WICKED. A haiku is a form of Japanese poetry that normally uses 17 syllables over three lines in a 5-7-5 formation e.g.

Write about WICKED
Use seventeen syllables
in five-seven-five.

(not a great example, but hopefully illustrates what we mean)

Your haiku can be anything you like to do with the musical WICKED, the characters in WICKED - or just what you love about WICKED.

We’ll ask the Cast to choose their favourite - so the more inventive or fun your haiku is, the more chance there is of getting picked as a winner.

Post your entry on this thread by the closing date of 27 March 2008 and we will announce their favourite here as soon as possible afterwards – so get writing and have fun!

Stop press: The 5 best haikus chosen by the Cast will each receive this set of Gregory Maguire's novels from Headline Review - the new paperback edition of 'Son of A Witch' and his new hardback 'Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister'.

Well I've been reading this website for ages now but never replied so thought it was about time I gave it a go!

My God this is hard but here goes (my first 4!)

Tale of the not so
Wonderful Wizard of Oz
All respect shattered.

Elphaba, Glinda
Propaganda and slander
Misunderstanding

Two witches of Oz
One airhead one activist
Best friends in the end

Two witches of Oz
Testament to their friendship
and love triangle!

Hopefully I'll get some more inspiration later!

Had a little more inspiration....

It will make you laugh
It will make you cry, but then
All the best shows do.

OR

Two leading ladies
And a fab talented cast
The best show in town!

Its weird what you can dream up when driving to and from work - and thank God for fingers to count on!
