| | |  Higgledy Piggledy House Pride: House Haikus
Looking for a bit of healthy competition and an excuse to show some Higgledy Piggledy House Pride? If you said yes, well look no further because this is just the place for you! If you said no… well stick around as you’ll have the opportunity to VOTE for your favourites and spread the love!
What better way to represent your Topsy Turvy house (or perhaps another house, it’s up to you!) than with a House Haiku!? And hey, who knows, maybe there’s some cheeky house points up for grabs. 
Just in case you're not already familiar, a haiku is a short Japanese poem that typically consists of three lines. The first line is made of 5 syllables, the second line 7 syllables and the third line 5 syllables (5-7-5).
For example:
Just and fair, that’s me
But don’t forget, badgers bite
I am Hufflepuff!
The Important Stuff- PM your entries directly to me (Waterloo), making it clear in the subject header that it's your House Haiku submission.
- We will be accepting House Haiku submissions until
June 12th. JUNE 14th! - Up to TWO submissions per user.
- Please keep your submissions anonymous.
- All other Snitchseeker rules apply.

Hellooooo, it's me again! Voting is over and the results are officially in! It was a close one, but the people have spoken and here we go! -------
I can’t think of anything more terrifying than an angry Slytherin demanding to speak to the manager. In third place, we have this hilarious entry from BanaBatGirl!
-------
Do I sense a theme here? I’m a fan and it seems the voters are too! Taking second place, we have another entry from BanaBatGirl!
-------
And it’s another Slytherin-themed haiku that takes the crown! I suppose we’ll never know what that mysterious parseltongue message is, but we do know that taking first place is Zoe!
------- Congratulations to our winners and once again, I wanna say a MAHOOSIVE thank you to everyone who took the time to submit a haiku. Your participation means the world to us. All the submissions were awesome and best of all, you’ve all contributed to your Topsy Turvy house!
Want to take a peek at who penned one of your favourites? Check out the spoiler below to find out. Comment and show them all some love for their creativity! Much love to you all. <3
