Post The International Haiku Championship
Rules for the International Haiku Championship:

(and yes, haiku is the plural of haiku)

1. All haiku must obey the 5-7-5 standard form. Disqualification for all who disobey this rule, for pure idiocy.

2. No pun-based haiku will be allowed in this forum. SO keep it out of the thread, Zandrew Angry...

3. Extra points will be awarded for haiku that rhyme. For sheer aesthetics and competition.

4. Points will be decided by the registered adults and mentors of SPAM team 180. Because we own.

5. Haiku must relate in some way to FIRST, previous competitions, or team logos and/or mascots.

6. All haiku will need a unique one-word title to be judged.

7. Only two haiku per person. Any violators will be disqualified.

8. The points will be announced as they are decided, listed by haiku title.

9. There is a two week time limit for postings. Any infractions by "accidental haiku posting" will result in disqualification. Scores from the last haiku will be posted within the week after the end of the 14 days. Final scores, posted by user-name, will be posted as soon as we can figure them out.

10. My rules must sound overly technical and completely too serious for this thread, but will be obeyed for the grand prize.

THE GRAND PRIZE
A commemorative piece of SPAM memorabilia (maybe one of those groovy black shirts... ), and a few other random prizes we might pick for ya.

The two weeks begins Sunday, January 19th. Happy writing

well, with respect to the other haiku mofos of SPAM, it's not really that common knowledge, so I thought it should be cleared up for the championships.


UPDATE!!!
Haiku submitted before the 19th will not count, but can still be posted for critiques.... (for those who actually care....)

Of course haiku is plural for haiku.
The Japanese have no plural words.

I don't think additional points should be added for rhyme bonus.

That's cheap and they will all rhyme.

And puns are cool....

This is not a Haiku...

...is it my imagination or are my fellow SPAMmers begining to cut back on the poetry and Haikus? I guess it was one of those things that are in style for a short time, like the "tickle me elmo", it was available for about three days and then it couldn't be found anywhere in the country.
