Our "Gai-ku" contest attracted a staggering volume of amateur poetics from every corner of the Gaia community-- in the end, we received over 7,000 haikus! It took us a while to read them all and expertly judge their merit, but we've narrowed it down to a few fantastic poems by some very talented Gaians.

To check out the winning haikus, see the first post of this thread:



Many thanks to all those who entered! Even if you didn't win, we had a great time reading all the entries-- it was a great reminder that our community is positively bursting with creativity and cleverness.
