Haikus are fairly easy to write, even for non-writers, so give it a whirl — you might just surprise yourself. Also, I’ve noticed that compared to the amount of visitors this site gets, the amount of comments is fairly low — even for my easiest contest ever where all you had to do was leave a comment to win a prize. What does that mean for you? It means that just by entering, you have a good shot at winning.
A haiku is a 3-line poem with a syllable count of 5/7/5 (so 5 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second line, and 5 in the third line). No rhyming necessary. Here is an example:
A winter haiku
Spend five minutes writing it
And make five dollars
There is no limit on how many haikus you can enter. Leave your haiku(s) as a comment to this post. Your gift certificate will be sent to the email you enter when you leave your comment, but your email address will only be veiwable by me. Also, I will not send you junkmail or sell your email address to anyone.
I’ll feature the winning haiku in its own post, so don’t forget to include the author name you want to go with it. The deadline is December 20th. Have fun!
