FGT is having a haiku contest as a pre-show for the main event happening later in June/July.
RULES
1) It MUST be a HAIKU. Any other type of poem enviado will not be considered for the contest, though it will be appreciated!
2) One user may enviar up to three haikus. They may enviar less, if they choose. But three is the maximum.
3) All haikus must be enviado por JULY 1ST, 2010.
4) Post your haikus in a comment in this article. I will gather them all into a segundo submissions artigo on JULY 1ST.
I would like two or three people to volunteer to pick their ten favorito haikus and put them into a pick to be voted upon. Haikus will be labeled por numbers and letters in the artigo to try and avoid bias. For example, say someone submits two haikus, and someone else submits three haikus:
1. A) First Haiku
B) segundo Haiku
2. A) First Haiku
B) segundo Haiku
C) Third Haiku
Each number denotes haikus por the same poet, so you can write a haiku series if you want. They will be posted in the order that the poet posts them here.
For those of you who have forgotten, or who have never learned what a haiku is, here is the basic format. A haiku is a Japanese short poem that is three lines long. The structure is as follows:
Five syllables
Seven syllables
Five Syllables
If your haiku bends or breaks the syllable rule por one or two, it will still be considered under the rule of poetic license.
So what are you waiting for, writers? Get cracking and show us your best haikus!
