There is no prize, save the undying admiration of your peers

We tip our hats to the French forum (specifically Alain who had this great idea)
FORMS IN ENGLISH HAIKU

Japanese haiku have been traditionally composed in 5-7-5 syllables. When poets started writing English haiku in the 1950's, they adopted this 5-7-5 form, thinking it created a similar condition for English-language haiku.

| I don't mind to be one of the judges | Jul 29, 2003 |
I mean it, but I don't whether I am qualified. I rarely write haiku. Actually, I prefer to be the participant. Please contact me via [email protected]. Or, may be you can provide the link for the contest here.
Thanks.

| Spam haiku URL | Jul 31, 2003 |
5 Not sure where this leads
7 But here's an old URL
5 For haiku on Spam

This is the haiku thread, which will remain open for submissions until September 4 (perhaps the Labour Day Weekend will provide inspiration for some);-).
After this time, the judges will announce the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners. The prize is accomplishment, a glowing happiness and the admiration of your peers.
Have fun!
Nancy

Hello my fellow poets,
Perhaps it's the weather, or perhaps you are all madly writing verses; in any case, I gather from the mail I've received publicly and privately that people generally wish to be participants. Judging is a difficult post to fill.
I had hoped for three judges, but with everyone's consent, and a desire to get the contest started, I propose that I become the second judge. We really need one more.

Katherine (Katy)Zei, a Canadian residing in Italy, has come forward as judge. I looked at her profile and saw that she has journalism training and solid writing ability Great!
So ladies and gentlemen, start your verses!
