I can't believe I've been shortlisted. A few months ago I sent four haiku to a competition, and tried to forget about it. Today I got a letter saying it's been shortlisted and they want to publish it! :-)

    Thanks guys!It was called the FreeXpression Literary Competition, it was Australian. They had a few sections, and I thought 'Why not?' It will be published in the next couple of months. Still on Cloud Nine!

    Well done K-roo! Haiku so difficult to get right - so powerful when you do!
  • AlikAlik
    Well done! I've only recent discovered the haiku and Scratch is right, they can be very potent when done well!

    Sorry to chuck a spanner in the works but shouldn't a traditional haiku have a syllable count of 5 - 7 - 5. Yours is 4 - 5 - 4. Was it special Aussie rules?? But I do like it, so congrats anyway!
