Got an opinion on salmon farming you can sum up in 17 syllables? I've entered three haikus already (I love haiku) in The Tyee: haiku duel contest. The prizes may suck, but I just like the attention.
Here's my favourite composition so far:
War against farmed fish
seems silly fom underneath
this dill and butter.
One of my entries into Monday Magazine's Haiku-K (ie: Y2K Haiku) contest in 1999 won an honorable mention despite being improperly formed. Now of course I can't find any copy of it, but it was something gloomy along the lines of:
The last dove eaten
by the last surviving man
February thirteenth.
I know the last line was "February thirteenth" because it is 6 syllables instead of 5 making it lousy haiku, but still amusing.
If you feel like stretching your poetic muscles, go ahead and enter before December 20th.
