More contests! (Woooo!)

After receiving the blessing from Chibi, we're finally bringing around our very own Monthly Poetry Contest, hosted by yours truly, and here's how it goes. Every month, we will choose one form of poetry for you all, the loving masses of brilliant writers, to adhere to and create a poem (or few) to submit.

A few general rules:

1. Max. 3 entries per contestant.

2. Abide by the rules of the poem-form of the month. Some flexibility will be permitted, but any poems that are not the form of the month will be ignored.

3. Just let your creativity run free. Just have fun with it, this is a little something for your imaginitive side, that's all.

And, remember, as always, when posting in here, play nice, no flaming, etc., just abide by the general rules of this forum/Gaia/the entire internet community. If anyone needs any clarification about the aforementioned rules, you may go:
- Here for our forum rules, or
- Here for the Gaia Terms of Service.


In terms of actually entering the contest, make a post that you're going to enter or send a PM to me, and I'll add your name to the list of contestants; however, entries from contestants not on the list are still more than welcome. Please send all entries to my mule account ZehTalkingPants.

So go on, start writing!

This Month in Poems. . .!

To start off the very first month of our poetry contest, we're looking for a very simple form of poetry: haikus! (Which are, as we all remember, three-lined poems consisting of five syllables in the first and third lines, and seven syllables in the second line.)

Just three lines to speak
And written by July tenth--
So you start writing!


As you can see, five syllables in the first and last lines, and seven in the second. As I'm also sure you can see, all entries are due by the tenth of next month, so hop to it!

I shall restate, send all of your entries via PM to my mule ZehTalkingPants, but redirect any questions you might have to this account, or just post 'em right here!

In terms of judging, this month, since the poems are simply haikus, I'll be the sole judge. (Although, if it just proves to be too much, I would appreciate another reliable judge-on-reserve, should the need arise, so if anyone wants to sign up for that job it'll be great ^^)


So anyway why are you still reading this you should start writing a little something!
