THE WILD HAIKU

This is a contest about the wild in the city or in the sticks. Something that will blow me away.
We do not have to do 5-7-5 haiku for the sake of filling out the poem. If it is 4-5-3 or something like that it is still a haiku.
Look for the Magic moment. Make me go wow!!!!!

Reember winner should pif with another Haiku contest
so we can get this going around and have lots of haiku contest.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on April 19, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 800, Silver: 300, Bronze: 159, Honorable mention: 5 people
  • Final notes:
    Well there were some fine entries here and to behonest I really wish I had more time to mull all of them over.
    I should make a point that too breif can also take away from a haiku just as too wordy can.
    It is a fine line. The winner of this contest really hit home because if you read the poem it goes beyond the mail box and means something more. When I read the poem I thought of an old mail box no longer in use
    now home to birds then I saw a house once full of love, but something changed the inhabitants got old and died or moved away or perhaps a drunken father burned the home down. You see there are more to haiku then just a few lovely words. That is feel it something to srive for. That is the power of haiku in my book.
    I thank all of you for entering and hope to fun another contest soon.
