Picture Prompts Haiku/Senryu (contest)

I love Haikus and Senyrus and have been writing a lot of them for contests lately. Now I want to read some new ones. Your challenge is to write using one of the picture prompts below. I want imagery, movement and, if possible, an aha moment.

 

 

 

TRADITIONAL

5-7-5

chains of up to three allowed

 

 

 

Before I give you the pics, here are the rules. READ THEM:

 

 

 

1. You may enter up to two times.

2.  If you're a gold member, use the picture in your poem AND credit the picture in your AN.

3.  If you're not a gold member, you MUST credit the picture in your AN.

 

 

 

Lots of people forget to put the prompt (pic credit) in their AN, and I have no idea what to reference. I'll give one warning before DQ'ing you. I'd really prefer not to have to give any warnings at all. You're all smart enough to follow this standard procedure.

 

 

 

Here are the pics. Have fun choosing!

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on March 6
  • Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 5 people
  • Final notes:
    I had a nice turnout for this contest. Lots of cool prompts this time around. I enjoyed all of the entries and appreciated the time and thought each of you put into your entries! Let me emphasize that I'm no haiku expert. I judged based on what I know and how I felt about the poems when I read them. So just because you didn't win doesn't mean your work wasn't outstanding!!

    Thanks for entering. See you next time! Kim
