All SBD Generated goes to the winner.
Hello. I've never done a contest/challenge here on Steemit before, so I figured now is as good a time as any to start.
I have always loved haiku/senryu. If you are not familiar with the form, here is a formal definition for the purists, but...I am not a purist. So, for this contest, we will go with a much more liberal definition....my own. The rules are as follows:
- The haiku must contain 3 lines
- The first line must be 5 syllables
- The second line must be 7 syllables
- The third line must be 5 syllables
- The haiku may be titled, but it is not required
- The haiku may have 1 image, but it is not required
- The haiku may not have more than 1 image
- Images may not contain written words
- You must upvote AND resteem this post in order to be eligible.
- Post your actual haiku and any related images below. You can make another post if you like, but I'm not going to be chasing down links.
Grading criteria:
I alone will choose the winner.
I favor poems that achieve depth within the confines of the form.
I like clever poems
I like poems with a twist
I prefer that each line is a a complete statement or idea. Meaning there is a clear pause between lines (just a preference)
Prize:
All SBD earned on this post. I may throw in some more if I can, but I'm broke (hence the name of the contest). Hopefully, it will get popular and the prize will be increased in subsequent contests. I will also upvote using
