It is too often the case
in internet-club space
that we forget who is friend and foe.
With or without rhyme
and your choice of time
make us a character poem for show.

As the poem above says, it is easy to forget who others' characters are - and sometimes our own - in the mire of dozens upon dozens of people. Write a short poem (no longer than four stanzas) describing your character. It can be funny, serious, sad, or all of the above, but it must convey at least one characteristic of your character's personality or history.

Examples of short poems include limerick, haiku, tanka (similar to haiku), and cinquain, but you are by no means limited to these. As such, rhyming and strict meter/rhythm are also not necessary outside of the restrictive forms.

Due to the brevity of these poems, submissions will not be awarded Clusters of Ice.
