This story is intended to span an epic scope and can cover many genre and sub-genre. Where it goes from the beginning is up to you, the only stipulation is that each entry must be written as either a haiku or a limerick. You can have more than one of each poem as part of the entry, but no prose.

For those who aren't sure...

A haiku is a three line poem of Japanes origin that typically takes the form of 5-7-5. That is, the first line contains 5 syllables, the second 7 and the final 5. Although they were originally about nature, for this story your haiku can contain any content (just obey the age restrictions).

Some examples (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku) are:

Whitecaps on the bay:
A broken signboard banging
In the April wind.
--Richard Wright (collected in Haiku: This Other World, Arcade Publishing, 1998)

Three things are certain:
Death, taxes, and lost data.
Guess which has occurred.
— That one guy David Dixon


A limerick is a five line poem with the line rhyming scheme generally AABBA. In addition, there are three 'stresses' in lines 1,2,5 and two 'stresses' in lines 3,4.

An anonymous example from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limerick_%28poetry%29
[I've capitalized the stressed syllables]

The LIM'rick packs LAUGHS anaTOMical
Into SPACE that is QUITE ecoNOMical,
          But the GOOD ones I've SEEN
          So SELdom are CLEAN,
And the CLEAN ones so SELdom are COMical.
