Haiku Twitter Competition
I’ll start with my first entry:
tweet your haiku to
@kingsplace King’s Cross Station
haiku competition
(Although technically this is a cheat, as I make it 18 syllables upon manual checking [5-7-6], but one of the automated counters said 17 so I’m having it here…)
I’ve always liked the poetry form Haiku, where you basically have a 17-syllable poem in a three line format with 5, then 7, then 5 syllables. It concentrates the mind amazingly well and can present beautiful imagery. It’s also quite fun to play with, which is the main reason I like it.
I came across this on BBC News:
Commuters fed up with the rainy weather can let off steam by “tweeting” poems about the summer which will be displayed at a London station.
All entries to the poetry competition will be shown on an outdoor screen at King’s Cross station until Friday.
People can send a message or “tweet” of up to 140 characters from their mobile phone to social networking site Twitter to enter the competition.
Anyone wishing to take part might find — if you’re anything like me, and are not 100% sure how many syllables are in a particular word — that you aren’t entirely sure how many syllables make up a particular word. In this case you might want to use one of the syllable counters. But do treat them with caution, as they don’t all always return the same results…
