First Annual JetC Haiku Contest

Haiku is a Japanese form of poetry, and probably the shortest type of poetry in the world. The type for this contest is the modern form, consisting of three lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables each. Usually, Haiku mention a season, but in our case they must evoke thoughts of JetC. Haiku requires the poet to be concise while still conveying the essential feeling of the subject. The lines are usually phrases instead of sentances, or a collection of words that paint a picture of the feeling.

Entries will be accepted from December 1, 2000 through December 31, 2001. Voting will be from January 1 through January 15, 2001. The winners in each category will receive a lovely graphic created by Clare009. The categories are Humor, Romance, Mary Sue, NC17*, Action Adventure, Angst, AU, Crew Conspiracy, Holiday, and Post Ep.
