Haiku Competition

Have continued to try to write a Haiku a day (see http://theonlyconsequence.blogspot.co.uk/2010/08/other-ways-to-express-your-creativity.html) and have today entered one into the Writing Magazine 'Write a Haiku' competition - closing date 15th August.  I was lucky enough to receive some encouragement from the Pimento Poets and the haiku that I entered is not a traditional haiku, so we shall see what they were looking for in a few months when the winners are announced.....

In the meantime, here's one that got away (and didn't get entered):


A quiet morning
The glass jar hit the floor fast
Simple life. Shattered.

Good luck!

Intrigued by mention that it's not a traditional haiku. There are many styles of writing haiku, including gendai, so I hope you do well.

kindest regards,
