Lately, I have been fascinated with haiku. So why not hold a contest...
Your mission: To write a haiku about anything that strikes you.

Trophies: Gold - 450. Silver - 200. Bronze - 100. 5 Honorable mentions. Points will possibly go up depending on the outcomes. Donations are accepted and greatly appreciated.
Keep in mind, I'm a beginner at haiku - so pardon my lack of knowledge...but I would really like to learn. If you have any pointers, please don't be hesistant to share them. I would love for someone to show me the world of haiku, so to speak.

Best of luck! =P
p.s. The plural of haiku is haiku and not haikus...who would've known =)

Excellent idea for a contest. I've never written a haiku either. I'll be watching your contest to get tips and pointers as well
Don't know if I'm able to try one... we'll see. Anyway... good luck and have fun with your contest.

I'm a learner of haiku myself.

I don't think one ever stops "learning" haiku their whole lives!
That's why the only people called masters now are long gone.
That said, I've been writing them for a while now, and have improved a lot since I first learned that old "5-7-5" business in school. I shall indeed be entering this one.
"The plural of haiku is haiku and not haikus...who would've known =)"
Well, I did, but I had a head start.
(I have some familiarity with the Japanese language, though I am far from fluent, so I understand something about pluralization). Studying things relating to Japanese culture, by the way, can be helpful in perfecting your own haiku.
