Win a Haiku contest, judged by my studly cousin Rob, win a pot!

[HorseloverFat]

So.. just as the title suggests... Submit a Haiku, have it judged by THIS guy.

And win THIS unglazed pot..

I know nothing of shipping overseas... but if YOU do.. maybe you could help me.

If you plan to ship overseas, pack it well and pack it small.

For those like me who don't quitw remember the rules of haiku...

Rules for Writing Haiku

Want to learn the rules for writing haiku? In modern haiku there are no specific rules; however, the structure of traditional haiku is the same as it has been for centuries.

Also, what sort of timeframe/deadline, other rules of the contest are we looking at?

 

[HorseloverFat]

Thank you! I’m new to shipping things.. in general... I believe I would err to the side of OVERcautious.

Your time, or GMT or what? I assume yours, but we should clarify.

 

[penumbra]

Wingless is their flight

the realm of capricious Gods

who dare love so deep

 

[penumbra]

Words have fled away

not found within my grasping

searching for my tongue

 

[penumbra]

I wake to the sound

of you sleeping beside me

and I breathe again

 

[penumbra]

The cold winter moon

dances on the icy pond

as it waits for spring

 

[penumbra]

Orange glow warms my face

ghost pale ashes fall like snow

upon frosted hair

 

[penumbra]

Window frames clatter

like small angry animals

no cage holds the wind

 

[penumbra]

Frozen sheaths of glass

shattered crystal clouds of grey

soundless the cricket

 

[penumbra]

Wind words in my ears

tempt me from the world today

wrap me in white sound

 

[penumbra]

Leaves blacken and curl

shapeless clouds of smoke give rise

to form from formless

 

[penumbra]

Behind snow kissed peak

ribbons of orchid on rose

the suns lonesome gift

 

[penumbra]

Sorry, I got carried away. I love Haiku.
I don't need to win anything, my reward is in sharing these simple poems.
