*Contest update: 5/5/12* Due to feedback from haiku aficionados out there, we've decided to ease the 5-7-5 requirement and will accept contemporary haiku forms as well.
The rules are simple. Your haiku must be a haiku (that is, three lines, syllables of 5-7-5). Submit as many haiku as you like. Your haiku cannot have been previously published. Anyone is eligible.
My blog co-founder Scott and I will read them all and each pick our favorite.* Winners will have their haiku posted on this prestigious blog and receive a $15 giftcard to Barnes & Noble. The contest entry deadline is May 17, 2012.
E-mail your entry here: haikududes@yahoo.com (We won’t put you on an annoying email list or sell your name or anything shady like that.)
Happy haiku-ing!
Andy
