If you’ve got something to say in a 5-7-5 poetry form, enter a one-stanza haiku at lifestyle@denverpost.com or file it at . Don’t forget to include your name and hometown.

This week’s topic: the 100th week of our haiku contest.
Entrants must use the words “Denver Post haiku” as either the first or the third line.
The deadline is midnight Thursday. Good luck, and start writing.
