Prizes

One winner and one follow-up will be able to choose between geekish things from Amazon, e.g. a puzzle, a t-shirt or a notebook.

The rules

  • Your submission should be posted in the comments below before April 10, 6 PM CET.
  • Your haiku should be a brief three-line poem, but we are not purists when it comes to the right number of syllables etc. We will gladly accept whatever your high-school teachers accepted as a haiku.
  • The winner will be announced as soon as the jury, a motley crew of Crastina-connected people, has made up its mind.
  • Submitted haikus will be published – with full acknowledgements – in Crastina’s Twitter feed.
