Last week’s challenge: “Choose Your Motif<\/strong><\/span><\/a>”<\/p>\n

The haiku.<\/p>\n

Three lines in syllables of 5 \/ 7 \/ 5.<\/p>\n

You’re going to use the haiku<\/em>\u00a0form to tell a story.<\/p>\n

I’ll be nice: you can have three haikus to tell that story.<\/p>\n

Hew to the 5 \/ 7 \/ 5 structure — yes, there are other permutations of the haiku form, but we’re going to go with the base level structure we all know and love from English class.<\/p>\n

This week has a prize:<\/p>\n

If you win, I’ll toss you a copy of each of my writing-related e-books.\u00a0That’s both Penmonkey<\/strong> books and all four of my “lists of 25” books (starting with 250 Things<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

You’ll get those e-books in PDF format.<\/p>\n

You have till next Friday to post your three-haiku story in the comments below. That is to say, by February 8th at noon EST. You get only\u00a0one<\/em>\u00a0entry, so choose well. (Multiple entries will disqualify all entries.)<\/p>\n

I’ll choose my favorite the week following.<\/p>\n

Now go forth and haiku the hell out of this place.<\/p>\n

Or, rather:<\/p>\n

The terribleminds<\/em><\/p>\n

haiku challenge is now live<\/em><\/p>\n

for you to conquer<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

EDIT: Winners!<\/p>\n

THREE WINNERS, DECLARED. I know, I said one but c’mon. This was a very, very hard challenge to judge. Because so many good options. Sooooo many. Anyway. The three winners:<\/p>\n

UrsulaV<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Valerie Valdes<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

and…<\/p>\n

Spenschwartz<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

CONGRATS, HOOMANS.<\/p>\n
