I wrote a haiku in the car on my way to work! I'll have to nab it in the morning. Totally wrote it on a napkin while I was driving.

Kids. Don't do this at home.

And I love that snow one Linny. :D Ain't it the truth.

I don't think so, Cora.

And, just an afterthought, some of the entries didn't follow the rules. XD

Nope, the contest ends when the event ends.

*Fake dramatic pose.* My soul could not rest until I said it!

Just kidding. <_< Um.. I.. I was just testing to see if you were paying attention! Yeah.

I'll be posting my entries in a bit. Also, does the rule "All haikus must be about Spring" also translate to "All haikus must mention Spring"?

They must contain references to things associated primarily with spring, I think is the best rule of thumb. If you were thinking about putting something in that would strike the reader as having more or as much to with summer than spring, best to hedge your bets, and leave it out.

I see, that makes things much clearer, definitely. Thank you~

Is it okay if I post my entries and then have a separated section for "just for fun" haikus?


---------- Post added 05-27-2012 at 05:29 PM ----------

And if any of those "just for fun" haikus can count as an entry, please let me know. XD

I'll separate them, no worries. And I'll take the liberty of putting the "[HIDE]" tags already so you don't have to. XD

You can do that if you want, but it's really not a hassle. I have to quote them as well as hide them, so I'm not racking up unearned gold while I submit entries. So, I'd have to edit it a bit anyway.
