Flash Haiku Contest...

...that's right folks...a quicky contest lasting just 24 hours so you need to jump in straight away. For those new members who want to give this a try...Haiku is A short Japanese form of 17 syllables generally in the form of three lines of 5,7,5 and the theme is set around nature. Why not give it a go, even if you don't get it right first time around it will be learning curve for you. It is, of course open to everyone. Ok...GO! GO! GO!

Collateral Damage

tropical rainstorms
sudden flooded river banks
duck eggs do not float

Pearlescent Ivy

Tinsel webbing spun
Linked to the heart of an Oak
Magical midnight.

Cumbersome tree

Branches spoiling view
intertwined mess intruding
chainsaw wins again

Water will zig-zag
beginning tumultuous
downpours, drought be gone.

Nice entries so far. There's still some time left guys but the clock is ticking down...tick-tock tick-tock!

Nice poems all

Crystal Snowflakes fall
gently against rosy cheeks.
An angels soft kiss.

Summer Storm

Scrub jays in the pine
Caw-calling in their counsel
Thunder crackling close

Tension in the clouds
trees bow and rain spits tempest -
angels and demons

CLOSED

This is going to be a tough one to judge! Thanks to everyone who participated...seems it was quite a popular short contest.

This was so hard for me...honestly, the entries were awesome and...I did not expect such a response in such a small time frame so...take a bow everyone but...step into the spotlight....Jane. This haiku had no fancy adjectives and I think that's what a haiku should really be about....well done Jane...take another bow!!!

Congrats Jane

Nice reading these, thanks Hellon for coming up with these little contests, I'll catch one someday hopefully! :)

Good work everyone!
Congrats, Jane
