Write a haiku keeping within the Japanese tradition of subject matter. For more information on this, please read my article andor class. I explain this in more detail. Five, seven, five in syllables will NOT be required.... I've never really believed that to be a correct aspectinterpretation of haiku in English. So, they can be less in syllables but not more! Season reference is necessary..... but it can be inferred by subject matter which is also traditional.
Please feel free to write up to three haiku for the contest. If you have any questions, please IM me. Thanks!
