haiku humor

What do we know about haiku? Not much, just the basics. But does that stop us from having a contest for haiku? Nope, just call us Fearless Yem and Intrepid Ima.

I'll ask the advice of a haiku writer friend so have no fear, the nuts won't be running the entire asylum.

The title says it all, go enter, and have fun...that is the most important thing...besides the snacks I'll be serving.

And you are not allowed to take this contest too seriously. Offenders will be forced to read our fiction!

One entry per account.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on September 27, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 428, Silver: 214, Bronze: 107, Honorable mention: 4 people
  • Final notes:
    Thanks everyone for entering and for joining into the lighthearted spirit of the contest. Most made me laugh, and a few made me squirm. I picked the winner for its light satire on us poets, the runner up for its toothless grin and third for its bonding.

    Thanks everyone!

      Depends what do you mean by "I"? Gaze has entered the only haiku she is allowed. But there are almost assuredly other yous.

      Oh yes snacks! You name it, and since it's imaginary food, it's not fattening!

      Now go enter the contest.
