Haiku and Senryu: A Contest and More....
        by: Celeste632  (celeste632@Writing.Com)
NEW CONTEST: Giving thanks is the theme of current contest. VERY FEW ENTRIES SO FAR. Write haiku, senyru or Tanka for this contest. CONTEST CLOSES AT MIDNIGHT ON THANKSGIVING DAY


Introduction to this forum.....
There were several years in my life (when I had two or more children in diapers) that I only wrote Japanese forms. Why? Mostly because I could carry a poem around in my head and revise and rewrite it while whirling through very full days. Once I had time to actually sit down and write again, I realized that writing haiku, senyru and tanka had transformed all of my writing in whatever form I chose to write: Everything I wrote was more crystalized and clear and powerful.

This forum is for anyone who loves to read or write using these Japanese forms. Feel free to share poems, reactions to poems and your knowledge about writing haiku and senyru.



Just a few ground rules for contests:

1. All content rating must be 'E.'

2. There will be seasonal contests, where I pick my favorite poems from amongst all the entries.

3. There will be gift point awards for the winners.

4. Please be patient with me. I squeeze this contest into a busy life as a working single mom--and I do this contest as a relaxing fun thing. I will attempt to have contests judged within 3 to 4 weeks of contest closing.
