(A Japenese lyric verse form having three unrhymed lines of five, seven and five syllables, traditionally invoking an aspect of nature or the seasons.)
Though it doesn't have to be about nature or the seasons--any poem that follows this form is a haiku.
And send it in to the "Discovery"/ Boston Review 2010 poetry contest.
Deadline: January 15, 2010

I'll start, even though I'm no great shakes as a poet, certainly. I have two of our poets in mind that will just blow me out of the water should they choose to participate!

Thanks for the info ! It's only for Americans ? Or, can I participate ?
Go ahead and participate. It didn't seem to be restricted except it's for people who haven't had their poetry published before.
The Boston Review is a VERY reputable publication. I know there's no gimmicks and this ISN'T any sort of scam!
Thanks for this information Paradise.
I don't think I'll get near to qualifying but I'm going to give it a try!

it's nice to read the winning poems to see what they like.
been published too, we could try something like this:

Can I enter your contest
If I lie a bit.
might win em over.
