I WANT REAL HAIKU
IT MUST BE NATURE BASED
MUST BE ABOUT WINTER
it must be in the moment
I am a stickler when it comes to concise, also simple haiku
and i have seen very few good haiku poets on this site
i am also tired of seeing bad haiku get awards
that won't happen here
have fun

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on February 2
- Rewards: Gold: 500, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 3 people
- Final notes: id like to thank everyone who entered and apologize for
the long wait… I kept this anonymous and tried to give simple tips to writing
a better haiku… though I did not find the perfect ku… these in my humble opinion I liked best… I also want to say; even the master Busho who wrote
thousands of haiku, said himself; i spent a lifetime trying to master these small thoughts but only a hundred or so, are worthy of connotation
thank you all…

Are we talking about real haiku according to western structure (the whole 5-7-5 bit) or real haiku in which syllable count can vary by a couple breaths?
-
-
I don’t believe I put restrictions as to type, traditional or modern
i'm looking for ''exceptional'' in formality
-
-
I've entered a traditional western Haiku (5-7-5), if you are looking for a more real Haiku please let me know.
-
Yes, I am wondering the same thing as Nocturne....what do you consider a real Haiku?
-
Damn... And here I wanted to write some faux-ku.
-
-
by all means
-
-
Real?
You mean in Japanese?
-
-
Surprise me !
