HAIKU COMPETITION
Times Are Tough; Talk Is Cheap
At a recent poetry reading, a poet gave a five-minute introduction to a haiku. Absurdities not being lost on us, we began generating our own haiku responses. We invite you to join us in the first Off the Coast poetry competition.
Complete one of the following haiku (we've provided a couple of possibilities for the first line):
- Five minute intro
- _________________________
- _________________________
- __________________________
- Times are tough, talk cheap
- ___________________________
- ___________________________
