I'm a huge fan of haiku, and my last contest filled up so quickly, I just had to run another one.
Haiku only. NO synru. Anything else but haiku will be Dq'd.
I want kick ass haiku, full of imagery!!! Each poet has 3 chances.
I loved my last haiku contest; Still in the process of judging it. But now I want more.
I will be back to offer links for assistance if your new to haiku, but if you can't wait, just visit my homepage and most recent contest "haiku only" for some links and examples of haiku and it's rules.
Note: Haiku, should not revolve solely around people, wilst it morphises into synru... I want nature and imagery!
Imagery, paint me a picture with your words. 5-7-5 or less, no more that 17 syllables total though and center line must be longest.
Ok, let's go!
Namaste~
