Golden Triangle Haiku Poetry Contest 2022!

Haiku is an ancient form of Japanese poetry and is considered the shortest poetry form in the world. Haiku are typically written in just three lines of verse (with a total of seventeen syllables) in 5-7-5 pattern. Haiku often references seasons and nature.

Instead of using the standard 5-7-5 Haiku format, this particular contest encourages contemporary structures which deviate from the normal pattern.
