Writing Prompt
Write a 5-7-5 senryu on the subject of contest rules.

This is Poetry Dances' definition of senryu:

Senryu is identical to the structure of a Haiku. It has three lines. The first line has 5 syllables. The second line has 7 syllables. The third line has 5 syllables again.

It is primarily concerned with human nature. It is often humorous or satiric. A non-traditional senryu can have less than 5/7/5 syllables. A common variation is 3/5/3 as in the example below.

Example:

Undone

words burst forth (3 syllables)
fragile bonds damaged (5 syllables)
love undone (3 syllables)
