I totally forgot how hard it is to pick a single winner in a Haiku contest. Do you reward the funny one? The one that sent chills down your spine? The one that nails the essence of the game?

So... I cheated. I took my three favorites, and a deck of cards. I shuffled the deck and cut for the winner.

The three:

Perludus perfectly captured a small detail familiar to all LOTRO crafters:

Making an ash bow
Flipping that tool and hoping
Some day I'll drop it

Falstep's imagery was too good to miss:

Blood fills the boot print
Made during the fight prior
Snow blows through the trees

RichVR made me snort milk up my nose:

The Gollum advert
It scares me when I see it
Looks like my ex-wife.

Honorable mentions: Shaz's beautiful Moria haiku, which wasn't in the running because he she kindly said he she didn't need the prize, and Centuri's hilarious double posting apology.

And the winner is....

Perludus, with the king of diamonds!

Thanks, guys, that was fun :)
