Write me a Haiku about...
.. Bears - grizzly bears, happy bears, cuddly bears, teddy bears.. you name it! You can personify the Bear's humanistic qualities or use analogies such as "bear with a sore head" to influence your poem. Haikus should be in the 5 7 5 format preferrably, but other styles are welcome. You may do a number of Haikus within the same poetry page, 3 maximum if you feel one does not express all you would like to say.
If you have any queries, IM me and I'll be happy to help!
Basic common sense rules apply:
no lingo speak, use spell check, one entry per person, no prewrites, make sure it is reasonable in presentation and respectable in standard.
Donations /applauses will be used to fund other contests

- Contest was judged on May 10, 2006
- Rewards: Gold: 300
- Final notes: I hope you all enjoyed writing for this contest as much as I enjoyed reading them! The quality of entries was beyond what I expected and a result this was a really hard contest to judge.
As I am relatively inexperienced at writing haikus myself, i apologise if the feedback I provided wasn't as indepth as I would have liked. However, all entries were commented on and applauded.
My thanks to all for enteringEntries [9]

This was a fun contest. I hope to get better at writing Haikus this helps. One came to mind about polar bears but only one entry so I stick with the moon bear.

My friend, Tango, sent me this link but I have not been on since that happened! Would have loved to have tried this but I see it has been closed now. Good luck to all!

Thank youfor hosting a fun contest. Congrats to the winners. I learned a lot from this and that can be better than winning ( sometimes )...lol. The Moon Bear is a real bear that is why I put the pic in, they are in Asia. -
