1/3 through Haikuthon, March on!

`Iscariot-Priest:iconIscariot-Priest: reports, March 13, 2008
The Spring Haiku point is 13 days in, and it's been a great turn out so far. To everybody who's joined and stuck to it, congrats! :w00t:


To anyone unfamiliar to the haiku form, this is a great opportunity to see the interpretation of the form by writers both new and experienced in writing haiku. You'll soon see there's more to it than folk glazing over nature and strict 5-7-5 syllable rules.
