Haiku Contest

Announcing my first haiku contest!

![haiku-contest.jpg](https://res.cloudinary.com/hpiynhbhq/image/upload/v1518002273/iwhikls2lawpje1huv1w.jpg)

### Haiku Contest Rules ###

1. Upvote and Resteem this post. The more people we can get involved here, the more fun we can have. 

2. Write a haiku. 
	- Post it in the comments to this post 
	- Make your own post with the haiku and a link to this post
	- Oh yeah, and while it's not required, I would prefer if your haiku were original. That is, that you aren't using the same one you previous submitted to other contests on Steemit. 

3. You may include a title or a headnote. A headnote is a short bit of text that sets the scene for the haiku. Some haiku poets use them (Basho and Shiki did) and some don't. You may also include a photo if you want.

4. No syllable requirement, just keep it short. Aim for one breath. You can read my thoughts on syllable counts in English haiku [here](https://steemit.com/haiku/@dbooster/does-haiku-have-to-be-17-syllables).
	- Nor does it have to be three lines. See my thoughts [here](https://steemit.com/haiku/@dbooster/do-haiku-need-to-be-three-lines).

5. It should have some kind of reference to nature and have a juxtaposition of images. I write *should* not *must*. If you think your haiku is strong enough to do without, go for it. I am not stuck in tradition and I welcome new creative ideas. 

6. Consider this quote from Jack Kerouac: 
	> [A] Haiku must be very simple and free of all poetic trickery and make a little picture and yet be as airy and graceful as a Vivaldi Pastorella.

6. Have at it!

#### Sample ####

Here is a haiku I used in the article referenced above. 

evening
snow beating down
my son is snoring

You can see I give a nod to the season, and there is also a shift in the action as we move from the scene (lines 1 and 2) to my son. 

#### Another Sample ####

This one, a classic from Buson:

on the temple bell
sleeping
a butterfly

You can read more about that haiku [here](https://steemit.com/haiku/@dbooster/sleeping-butterfly-haiku-of-japan-32).

#### An American Haiku Sample ####

And here is one of my favorites from Jack Kerouac:

No telegram today 
only more leaves
fell.

### About ###

Now this isn't to step on the toes of @Moonleesteem, who already runs a haiku contest and does a wonderful job at it. I participate in his contest occasionally and I recommend you do too.

But as many of you know, I disagree on syllable requirement for haiku, while at the same time I am a bit more of a stickler for having some nod towards nature and featuring some kind of juxtaposition of images. 

So I decided to hold my own contest. 

### Close Date and Prizes ###

Contest will go for 7 days, so that means the final day you can submit is next Wednesday the 14th (Japan time). 

Prizes will be 2 SBD for first place. 1 SBD for second place. And .5 SBD for third place. 

I will be the sole judge. 

Also if anyone is interested in sponsoring this or future haiku contests, please DM me on Discord. If I can pick up a sponsor, that prize money may increase.

Above all, have fun.

My entry, written just now, recalling that this is the anniversary of the Sylmar/Newhall earthquake:

In Los Angeles
the dark before the dawn
suddenly: EARTHQUAKE!

I've been writing haiku since childhood, and have been mostly a purist regarding syllables, which came largely from having a lot of Japanese neighbors and friends.

Lately I've playing with the syllable count more, so I welcomed this contest.  Liked and resteemed.

@dbooster, I don’t think I saw a rule in your post about how many entries each entrant can write. Is there a limit of one?

@moneyinfant has added your contest to the list [Steemit Writing Contests: Issue #17](https://steemit.com/contest/@moneyinfant/steemit-writing-contests-issue-17-february-11-2018). The list is updated on a daily basis and your contest will remain on the list until its expiration - there's nothing you need to do.

The list was created to save writers the excessive amount of time spent searching through the #contest tag for writing contests. Now they can just come to the list each day, see new contests and use their time doing what they love - writing.

If you'd like to help spread the word about the Steemit Writing Contest list I'd really appreciate a resteem, but it certainly isn't necessary. The project is simply meant to help writers save time and contest creators attract more contestants.

P.S. If you know of any contests I've missed I'd love to hear about them. Thanks!

It's been a long time since I've intentionally written haiku! Thanks @dbooster!

a mightier storm perceived
darkens in the west*

Great contest @dbooster, I agree with you that haikus need not to be constrained by syllables. I also take part in @moonleesteem's contest

haiku contest
thinking so hard
nothing

[Post Link](https://steemit.com/poetry/@whoshim/entry-for-haiku-contest-nothing)

Just a fun little post for my first contest entry.  I will try to make something more airy and nice in the future.  Thanks for running these, and for your posts on haiku.
