I must say, since this posting I have become strangly addicted to this Haikuzoo competition.

At first I was just dead-keen to win a prize, but subsequently I can’t stop myself coming up with new haikus.

It’s a strange artform. On the one hand I find it entirely frustrating because they’re so easy to write – so how do you tell a good haiku author from a bad one? Where’s the skill in haiku?

But on the other hand, they’re brilliant because they’re so easy to write!! hahaha. Even I can do it!

Can anyone post a link to an analysis of haiku as an artform?

If you haven’t entered already, the competition has a few days to go…

Chris.

I like haiku too
So easy to verbalize
In a wine full tub

Sasquatch bones linger
so briefly in deep gullies,
drumming human dreams.

I like haiku almost as much as I like cryptozoology. They both go good with wine and moonlight.

Big Feet but no claws,
Eating other’s sandwiches
with biggest belches!

New book I want
Cool haiku that I did write
Win me Thylacine?

Well, the first was about Bigfoot and the other was beastly enough on its own!

And finally, from their WebSite…

Carnivorous Nights
A story of safari
gone slightly unhinged

These lines so simply
Illustrate complexity
It’s not hard to do!
