Haiku: Civilization’s Scope
civilization’s
lowest denominator
and greatest are one
The Japanese Garden in Portland, Oregon is hosting a haiku contest. They’re offering a $100 gift certificate and two $50 certificates to the top three winners for their Gift Store, which, if you don’t live in Portland Oregon, like me, you’ll never redeem your prize.
However, a selection of submitted haikus will be posted to their website and in their newsletter, The Garden Path, which is very cool.
Plus their criteria for what constitutes an haiku is pretty slack on syllables, but makes for good reading about artful delivery.
