I would like two hoặc three people to volunteer to pick their ten yêu thích haikus and put them into a pick to be voted upon. Haikus will be labeled bởi numbers and letters in the bài viết to try and avoid bias. For example, say someone submits two haikus, and someone else submits three haikus:

1. A) First Haiku
B) một giây Haiku

2. A) First Haiku
B) một giây Haiku
C) Third Haiku

Each number denotes haikus bởi the same poet, so bạn can write a haiku series if bạn want. They will be đã đăng in the order that the poet posts them here.

For those of bạn who have forgotten, hoặc 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 hoặc breaks the syllable rule bởi one hoặc two, it will still be considered under the rule of poetic license.

So what are bạn waiting for, writers? Get cracking and hiển thị us your best haikus!
