    Okay, remember Sokka's Haiku Slam in "Tales of Ba Sing Se"?

    Well here's your chance to show off YOUR Haiku skills.

    Rules for Haiku

    First line: 5 syllables

    Second line: 7 syllables

    Third line: 5 syllables

    Obviously your poem should be about Avatar in some way, a character, an episode, whatever.

    Okay, I'll start if off.

    *ahem*

    Toph, the Blind Bandit

    She vanquishes all her foes

    While she picks her nose!

    Don't you know what a Haiku is?

    "Five, seven then five,
    Syllables has a haiku.
    Remarkable oaf."

    I'm not Japanese either. A Haiku is a poem made of three lines that don't rhyme. The words in the first line have 5 syllables, the words in the second one have seven syllables and the words in the last one have five syllables altogether.
