All SBD Generated goes to the winner.
Hello. I've never done a contest/challenge here on Steemit before, so I figured now is as good a time as any to start.
I have always loved haiku/senryu. If you are not familiar with the form, here is a formal definition for the purists, but...I am not a purist. So, for this contest, we will go with a much more liberal definition....my own. The rules are as follows:
- The haiku must contain 3 lines
- The first line must be 5 syllables
- The second line must be 7 syllables
- The third line must be 5 syllables
- The haiku may be titled, but it is not required
- The haiku may have 1 image, but it is not required
- The haiku may not have more than 1 image
- Images may not contain written words
- You must upvote AND resteem this post in order to be eligible.
- Post your actual haiku and any related images below. You can make another post if you like, but I'm not going to be chasing down links.
Grading criteria:
I alone will choose the winner.
I favor poems that achieve depth within the confines of the form.
I like clever poems
I like poems with a twist
I prefer that each line is a a complete statement or idea. Meaning there is a clear pause between lines (just a preference)
All SBD earned on this post. I may throw in some more if I can, but I'm broke (hence the name of the contest). Hopefully, it will get popular and the prize will be increased in subsequent contests. I will also upvote using @randowhale (whenever he wakes up).

~ No matter how he tried ~
well, that's my attempt... I hope it's good.
By the way I re-wrote each line more than times to have something resembling a haiku... I really suck at writing them...

A piece of the sea
crawls along my cheek. Lifeblood
flows forth, abandoned.
all the life is lie .
I realize remembering my big tragedy
I look at the sky
When you say the image may not have written words, does that mean that my images with my copyright information are not allowed?
No, that is ok.... as long as your poem is not about your copywrite. I just don't want people to use words in the image to convey meaning.
Thanks moeknkows for winning my entry!
You're welcome. It was a great piece.
