I SURPRRRY AT YOUR FAB HAIKU.

Do you like haiku? I love haiku. It's short, it's simple. Give me you best. I love humorous haiku. The serious deep thought haiku...not so much. Be original!

What is a haiku?
A haiku is a three line poem. The lines follow a 5-7-5 syllable structure.

A couple of rules:

1. No nature haiku. Those are lame.
2. No vampire/fairy/dragon haiku. Those are stupid.
3. Follow the three line 5-7-5 syllable format.
4. 5 syllables in the first line.
5. 7 syllables in the second line.
6. 5 syllables in the third line.

You can enter stories composed of however many haiku you want.

You can enter as many entries as you want.

If you can't count syllables, this is not the contest for you my friend.


Good luck!

    No nature haiku? Nature's, like, a basic element of haiku...

      Traditionally, yes. However, it can be fun to challenge yourself by forcing yourself to discard the usual expected imagery of the form. At least I think so, anyway.

      Or maybe something's just wrong with me.

      That's why haiku are usually lame.
