Merry Christmas, haiku writers! This week, trying to keep clear about the reason for the season, we asked entrants to The Denver Post $25 Haiku Contest to mull “peace on Earth.” Haiku expressing tiny tidings of joy flowed in fast and furious. We liked the verse by Chantel Fernandez of Durango best:
Inside peace begins,
but on the outside of us,
is where it’s needed
Read more haiku at denver /haiku. You can also go to lifestyles to have The Haiku Guy, our poetic avatar, read aloud to you.
If it all makes you feel like you’ve got something to say in a 5-7-5 poetry form, enter a one-stanza haiku at lifestyle@denver or file it at denver . Don’t forget to include your name and hometown. Our favorite wins a $25 gift certificate to the Tattered Cover Book Store.
This week’s topic is: The deadline is midnight Thursday. Good luck, and start writing.
