A Note to Poetry Contestants About Haiku and Senryu
Just so you know, I am very particular in how I like haiku and senryu to be written
If you choose haiku remember it is about nature, title and poem in lower case, 5-7-5 syllables
If you choose Senryu it is about human emotions, title and poem in lower case, 5-7-5 syllables
in both cases there should be a turn in direction in third line indicated by ... or - or ~ at the end of line two
There is no punctuation in haiku or senryu in title or poem except for the line change indicator mentioned above and I repeat no capitalization in title or poem
IT SHOULD NOT READ LIKE A 3 LINE SENTENCE
no other layout acceptable
