cathi-xx (65)in #contest • 7 years ago (edited)

The Prize

WIN 20 SBD by writing a haiku about @papa-pepper. Contest closes 9 am UTC Thursday 14th September.

A haiku is a short Japanese poem that has exactly 5 syllables in the first and last lines and 7 syllables in the middle line.

Caught between a rock
and soft place by the power
this sot turned shepherd

The example above is one I wrote earlier.
(My haiku is cryptic, because I was going to use it in my guess the haiku contest, but yours can be as obvious as you like!)

The competition judge is the man himself, drumroll...

A great start to the contest, thank you; all syllables present and correct (I'm a stickler for correct syllables in strict form poetry!).

I saw your post, just add the tag, "celebritysteemian" without the 's' and it will show up again. My bad-typo.

Thank you!
I copied it wrong from my notes. Mr Pepper's haiku was between Khal Drogo and Lizzie Samuels, so he had a lucky escape ;)

Also, it would be great if you could make a post of your haiku, and use the tag, "celebritysteemian".
That way the judge can click on the tag and see all the entries in the same place.
Thanks!
