The sea.
Ships roll on the sea Lightning flashes thunder rolls Thunder dragon dreams
I think it's typical Mantis and talks about the contradiction between the raging storm and the tranquility of a dream.

I am samurai
A life not my own Bushido duty and the Clan True freedom in death
The story of a dutiful honorable samurai that does what is right because it is what expected at the cost of what he wants.

A Confederacy of Dunces
Of course we will dig The latrines upwind, -sama. You surely know best.
The only sort of haiku my character in this game is ever likely to compose.

I'm going to keep these together in one post, as it's a set (and I don't feel like doing 8 posts). I've made one for each of the great clans.
crab
high up on the wall fighting against the darkness mountains do not move
crane
soft-spoken in court elegant in all aspects just one strike one kill
dragon
away from all else isolated in the north watching the empire
lion
thousand sandals heard mighty armies on the move silence follows them
mantis
newest clan of all mix of different small clans alloys are stronger
phoenix
the kami are strong peace is the highest ideal starting in their home
scorpion
yes frog I can swim it is my nature to sting secrets best untold
unicorn
riding on the plains faster and stronger horses wind flows through their hair

As I can't nominate my own, I have little choice. But I like the one from Kaigen, so I nominate his.

As much as I would like to vote for Kasumi's Dragon I think I'm a bit biased. I do want to vote for her Wedding Haiku though.

I actually like Kasumi's Lion one best... it's the most evocative.

Guys, congratulations and thank you very much for participating in the Haiku Contest. Personally, I liked all of them, and felt a bit jealous I couldn't enter the contest myself. You are such talented guys! I hope you have enjoyed as much as I did.
Now, to the Winners:

As you said, I have the famous poet advantage. And if I ever play a similar character in a tabletop L5R game, I can use them there as well and look as if I have made them up on the spot.
