Haiku: Your Choice of Subject
Poetry Contest
The rules:
17 syllables or FEWER.
(Fewer is better. 12 English syllables roughly equal 17 Japanese sound units, or "on." But this is not a requirement here.)
two lines of grammatically interconnected, observable concrete imagery (not mere description, definition, or philosophical statement) and one fragment (line of insight).
present tense
minimal punctuation
minimal capitalization
no end rhymes
minimal or no author notes
title: haiku (first line of poem)
Art work is allowed, but it's important for the words alone to convey the message. (This is not an art contest.)
The contest winner will win half of the prize pool which is based on the number of entries. The second and third place winners will each share the remaining prize pool. The prize pool is currently 85.00 member dollars. There are only 1 spots still open. If all open spots are used the prize pool will be 90.00 member dollars. In this contest at least 2 submissions must be made for the vote to begin.
Deadline: Contest is closed. Deadline was Tuesday, October 28, 2014.
