Introducing ... The Haiku Project

The Fruit Street Free Press is hosting its first Haiku contest. The rules are simple: send your Haiku to Stephen

A Haiku: consists of three lines; first line, five syllables; second line, seven syllables; third line, five syllables. 

It cannot rhyme, although some famous guy once said "writing poetry without rhyming is like playing tennis without a net."

Entries: unlimited. 

Winner: a secret prize; will be delivered before Dec. 25.

Deadline: all entries must be sent before Nov. 30

Judging: poems will be posted throughout the contest; comments can be influential in final 
judgement. Final judgement is determined by Fruit Street Free Press officials.

Examples of a Haiku: 

Steps swoosh fallen leaves
Flip-flops must be put away
Winter closing in

Cartoons never die
They live always with smiles
Someone draw me please
