From Free Verse To Haiku

poet Anonymous

Poetry Contest

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.

Was fulfilled in every way
Back to reality

A flower amongst flowers


I love to watch you
A flower amongst flowers
Charmed by your beauty

Your kiss of butterfly

Kiss of butterfly
Sweetness of wings in air
Flavor of pistil

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
