Our last five haiku contests revealed the creative genius of dozens of Harvard poets. If you’ve been waiting for an opportunity to strut your creative stuff, now’s your chance: Our sixth annual Haiku Contest is on! Haikus will be published in our June 1 issue. You can enter now and avoid the rush, or wait ’til the deadline, which is Monday, May 28.
Entries should be written with a Harvard theme. The possibilities are endless: town politics, apples, Town Meeting, town events, Bromfield and HES activities, town personalities—you name it.
Classic haiku format is 17 syllables in a five-seven-five pattern:
Find five syllables
with seven to follow them
and five to finish
First prize is a one-year subscription or renewal to the Harvard Press. Selected entries will be published and the winner announced in the June 1 issue. To enter, e-mail submissions to editor@harvardpress.com or mail to The Harvard Press, P.O. Box 284, Harvard, MA 01451.
