HERA FESTIVAL - Haiku Contest


User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.


The civilians decided Hera would appreciate a bit of poetry and would like you to write her some haiku.

“Rules” for Writing Haiku
All you need is 5-7-5

A haiku is that it is a poem of 17 syllables in 3 lines, like this:

5 syllables in the first line

7 syllables in the second line

5 syllables in the last line.

There are other rules about the haiku, such as it needs to represent an observation but for now we're just worrying about the syllables.

The poem should reflect Hera in some way. Whether it's about the things she represents or how we give back to her is up to you.

The best 3 haiku will win one of the above mikroi/gadroi.
To enter, please fill out the form below. Please only one post per person but you may enter up to 3 different haiku.

Haiku:

Queen of gods, fierce gaze,
peacock feathers trail behind,
wrath and love entwined.

Queen of storm and fire,

Vows betrayed bring bitter fate,
goddess stands alone.
