I have been thinking about running a Haiku contest for some time now but wanted it to be different.
Each person may enter from one to four entries.
Each entry must be about either-
"Winter" "Summer" "Spring" or "Fall"
Only one entry allowed for each season.
You may enter them as seperate entries or you may enter all four in one entry.
You may choose any form of Haiku, you might have a style of your own, But remember it can only have three lines.
" EXAMPLE "
Shinny silver maples
have turned to gold
fall is here.
This will be open to everyone "so a few rules"
No foul language of anykind "period".
No locked caps
No erotics
Just nice clean Haiku's
Points will be raised if I have enough entries.
There will be HM's how many will be decided near the end of the contest.
I will read and comment on every entry before the contest is judged.
So come on everyone lets have a " HAIKU " good time.
The contest has closed and believe me this was the toughest contest I have judged.
I said in the beginning I would add extry points if i got enough entries. Because I had so many realy good entries i decided to use the points and give extry HM's 26 to be exact.
I thank everyone for making this contest a great success.
I felt everyone was a winner and wish I could have given everyone a Gold Silver or Bronze Trophy.
Again thank you so much for all the beautiful entries.
I will be posting a new contest real soon ( after I get a few more points) Hope I will see all of you there.
