What's up, Steemians?
We had no entries last week and I had no means to really promote the contest. I will add some SBD to this weeks winner beyond what the post generates. I'm looking forward to some great entries this time around.
Well, Let's get on with it, shall we?
===========================================
WEEK 2
All SBD paid to me goes to the winner.
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 (copywrite credits fine)
- You must upvote AND resteem this post in order to be eligible.
- Post your actual haiku and any related images in the comments 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 paid to the author 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
