4th Annual Haiku Contest

Please link to http://annerose.cjb.net/contests/haiku_main.html

Haiku is a Japanese form of poetry, and probably the shortest type of poetry in the world.  The type for this contest is the modern form, consisting of three lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables each.  Usually, Haiku mention a season, but in our case they must evoke thoughts of J/C (or other Voyager M/F couples, see the second entry form).  Haiku requires the poet to be concise while still conveying the essential feeling of the subject. The lines are usually phrases instead of sentences, or a collection of words that paint a picture of the feeling.

  • Entries are accepted from December 1, 2003 - January 3, 2003.
  • Voting is from January 6 - January 24, 2004.
  • The winners in each category will receive a lovely prize graphic on about February 1.
  • The categories are Humor, Romance, Mary Sue, NC17**, Action Adventure, Angst, AU, Crew Conspiracy, Holiday, and Post Ep.
  • The contest is mostly anonymous. Please don't post or link your haiku until the contest is over. I realize there is some group writing going on, but try to maintain your anonymity - it's more fun that way.

    • **NC17 is listed on a separate page.  All other categories should be rated no higher than PG-13.  All the usual disclaimers apply - over 18 to read or write.  For this contest there is the added restriction of not naming, um, NC17 type body parts.  Yes, the authors have to be very creative for this one.

    The meeting ended
    Computer, seal the doorway
    Underwear in flight

    See, you can write something better than that! ;-)
