LadyBluebird Haiku Contest! (50 subscriber celebration)
Hello! Well y’all, I’ve reached my first 50 subscribers, and we all know that means it’s time for me to spill the beans on how we’re going to celebrate.
(If you read my newsletter from last night, you know that this was supposed to take a lot longer to set up. Well, it’s ready! Here we go!!)
I’m hosting a Haiku-writing contest!
Whether you think you’re a writer or not, haiku are simple and easy to write, and can convey a lot of imagery and emotion in just a few words. Take a risk and submit yours today.
Guidelines
The theme for this contest is GRATITUDE.
Feel free to interpret this creatively, but you must include the theme in your haiku. You could write about something you’re grateful for, what gratitude means to you, this season in general, etc. Be creative.
Rules (must be followed for a valid entry):
- Limit 1 entry per person (haiku are short, so choose your words wisely!)
- Must follow the 5-7-5 syllable pattern (if you’re unfamiliar with haiku, do some research)
- Must pertain to the theme of GRATITUDE
- Must use your real name and email when submitting
- Plagiarism is instantly disqualified.
Prizes:
First place: Publication on LadyBluebird, personalized feedback on your haiku, & bragging rights. If you have a blog, I’ll link to it as well. (Assuming I find it appropriate for my readers.)
Second place: publication on LadyBluebird & bragging rights.
Honorable mentions (up to 2): an honorable mention on LadyBluebird & bragging rights.
**The deadline for submission is Sunday, November 20th, 11:59 PM ET.**
A winner will be chosen and emailed by December 4th, and then they will be announced on LadyBluebird.
Be brave! Submit a haiku.
You have nothing to lose, and I am so excited to read your writing. Even if you don’t think you’re a writer.

What a great idea, Abby!! I’ll have to get writing! XD
Thanks, Caelie! I’m so excited about this. Looking forward to seeing all the entries!
I will be writing Abby! Look forward to seeing the results.
Awesome! Can’t wait to read y’all entries!
I have only ever wrote 2ish haikus😂
But I will attempt a third for this!
Great! Can’t wait to see it! 🙂
Are we allowed to write more than one stanza? There is so much I want to say and I don’t know if I can do it in 19 syllables or not!
I’m gonna have to say no, try to keep it to one stanza… If I’d have thought about it beforehand it would have been fine, but since I already have entries and don’t want to make it unfair, please just submit one. 🙂
Thanks for asking, though!❤
Ok, sounds good. Thanks! 🙂
