  5. This is inspired by the book of Edith Hamilton about Greek Mythology. I think this is no haiku at all because they don't rhyme but I think it's legit enough according to Wiki Answers xD Thank you for this awesome giveaway! Oh and happy Armchair BEA day!

    Narcissus

    The river I dwell
    Is where my vanity fell
    Hear! Echo’s farewell
