From Free Verse To Haiku
Anonymous
Poetry Contest Description
Turn any of your poem into a Haiku/Senryu
Take any of your free verse poem (or structured poetry) and turn it into a haiku; respectively 5-7-5 syllable count.
The topic of this comp was inspired by a conversation I had with Ms Chi (our amazing Haiku/Senryu expert in Du) under one of my acrostic tanka comment section, on how these little gems are viewed and used to relay thoughts, feelings.
The main idea of this comp is whether less is more and more can be less.
Up to 3 entries per participant.
Please attach the link to the original poem.
Grammar, spelling checked.
Two weeks duration.

Caressed her naked,
Plunged her depths with passion;
I'm only dreaming.

Plunged her depths with passion;

Your kiss of butterfly
Kiss of butterfly
Sweetness of wings in air

My muse is here
It rains in my heart
What's this sudden happiness
Un sourire de vous

Breathe in, and don't stir
cut his neck and mark her too-
pretty blood, breathe out.

Beauty reigns supreme
A delicious sense of awe
Masks the obvious

Strangers at my gate
Soulless things dressed to kill writhe
I flee quite frightened
