Haiku Hoopla Contest

Posted on November 1, 2015February 3, 2023 by Richard

On our horror movie night we talked about our Horror Haiku contest. We ran out of time. We would have only had a couple of days for that contest, so we decided to wait until after Halloween. We decided to do a Haiku Hoopla Contest instead. This is a contest honoring the Haiku form on all subjects.

We are looking for Haiku poetry from now until November 25th. The winner of this contest will get ad space on our site. The Haiku will also be published on Every Day Poems and get a link from our front page.

Rules:

  • Follow the Haiku form
  • You can do more than 1 Haiku strung together
  • Must be posted below in the comments
  • Can be on any topic….

Post your Haiku below in the comments. We’ll pick the best.

    “Imprinted”

    Steam from rose tea cup,
    a subtle embrace, heart sting—
    beyond moment, dream

    You sound like me, up at 2 am writing poetry.
    I learned three new words:

    Eleemosynary
    Finifugal
    Novaturient

    past – devastation
    current – rising like phoenix
    future – hope, love, health

    “Fallen Willow”

    Vast lands,
    the water,
    the cold breeze,
    from afar to see,
    the weeping Willow…

    autumnal
    yellow
    bare
