Poetry Contest

Write contrastive haiku: night vs. day, dark vs. upbeat, romantic vs. unromantic, exciting vs. soothing a.s.o..
RULES

-  Collaborations ONLY
-  write two haiku/senryu as a ‘couple’: one haiku/senryu should display dark/negative/sad feelings/topics, the responding haiku should be upbeat/positive/soothing and has to relate to the dark haiku
-  name both authors
-  5-7-5
-  No more than three entries (collabs), please.
-  You may post your entries directly one after the other.

- YOU MAY ALSO WRITE ABOUT GOOD SEX VS. BAD SEX OR VANILLA VS. HARDCORE!


                                                                     JUST HAVE FUN!



Example:

Love's not stretchable
Too wide the gap between us
Frayed feels on both sides
(Miss Chi)
            ---  
Love's untouchable
Despite the gap that parts us -
Overcome some day

So do we start this off with one 'ku then wait for the next author to finish it? Are titles in play?

Start it off as a collaboration. Two contrastive (or even contraceptive, Jen :-)) haiku.
You may post further entries diirectly one after the other if you like that better.
No more than three entries (collabs), please.

You may title the haiku but you needn't. Normally haiku go without titles.

she weeps, stripped down to the soul

Hello Miss Chi

Question: I have written 7 haiku/senryu in a linked renga.  My partner (who I'm waiting to hear from cause I just messaged him if he would be able to join in the fun) would write a 'ku/'ru for each of the seven, and that would make our one collaborative entry of 7 sets of a total of 14 'ku/'ru, but all in one collection.  Would you allow our submission if it's structured the way I have explained? And thank you, miss.

Thank you, Jade, for offering a renga which I'm anticipating very much! Yes, please do as you proposed and your partner is very welcome to answer to each of your haiku/senryu :-). Go ahead!

The following is not an entry for the competition, that's further down on another page - this one is going to be considered as an example for people who wish to participate in the fun, so go for it!

Haiku/Senryu Renga: HIT MAN 🔫👤
(a Jade-Pandora & Hepcat61 collaboration)

1
I grab his pistol
rubbing its cold steel into
where it sends me there
                   (Jade-Pandora)

     she knows it’s my way—
     hard steel in her waiting hands
     glad she likes my gun
                             (Hepcat61)


2
I wonder if it's
loaded, thrilling even when,
heart, I know better
                   (Jade-Pandora)

     she moves ev'ry part
     considering the danger—
     heart wants what heart wants
                             (Hepcat61)


3
bitter and tartness
sweet and savory blending,
joining skin to skin
                   (Jade-Pandora)

     once tasting hot smoke
     there's only one true path, sight
     body, mind, motion
                             (Hepcat61)


4
incognito— where
he hides on the run from, and
intensely returns
                   (Jade-Pandora)

     quickly to that room
     when to enter and retreat
     deep in her hideout
                             (Hepcat61)


5
what kind of hit man
leaves such evidence around
oozing and unclaimed
                   (Jade-Pandora)

     she’s better at this—
     the set-up and the take-down
     we’ll need the “cleaner”
                             (Hepcat61)


6
what lover leaves me
hanging, suspended, waiting
for one digit's worth
                    (Jade-Pandora)

     shots ring in the dark—
     don’t wait to see body twitch
     always on the run
                             (Hepcat61)


7
his averted eyes
speak volumes of his nature
leaving fingerprints
                   (Jade-Pandora)

    the crime scene body
    I look away but remain—
    hope she brought the cuffs
                             (Hepcat61)

the summer breeze stirs
drooping willow vines to dance

A Woman Is A Lion That Needs To Be Set Free

Work.
her booty hole stank
up the room. she don't use soap,
stank skank ass perfume.

Play.
she kneels to pray. her
mouth wrapped around my bible.
I baptized her thrice.
