The setup... Ms Hinako decides that our intrepid students have not had
sufficient exposure to the more cultural aspects of life.. Given our groups
tendency towards the martial arts the poetry competion became a martial
arts poetry comp with a date with the female (or male) member of the cast
of your choice as the prize.

So lets try a little light creativity of a more poetic nature....


Hmmm...

How about this?
