Write A Haiku About PAPA-PEPPER - Celebrity Steemian Haiku - Week 1

cathi-xx (65) in contest • 7 years ago (edited)

The Prize

WIN 20 SBD by writing a haiku about @papa-pepper. Contest closes 9 am UTC Thursday 14th September.

A haiku is a short Japanese poem that has exactly 5 syllables in the first and last lines and 7 syllables in the middle line.

Caught between a rock
and soft place by the power
this sot turned shepherd

The example above is one I wrote earlier.
(My haiku is cryptic, because I was going to use it in my guess the haiku contest, but yours can be as obvious as you like!)

The competition judge is the man himself, drumroll...

A great start to the contest, thank you; all syllables present and correct (I'm a stickler for correct syllables in strict form poetry!).

Lindo proyecto, pero difícil participar! Soy de habla española y el tema de silabas en ingles es confuso para mi.

cathi-xx (65) · 7 years ago (edited)

Soy only understand un poco espanola! I think you said the term "syllables " was confusing.

"Lindo proyecto" has five syllables, the syllables are the "beat".
"el tema de silabas" has 7 syllables
"pero dificil" has five syllables

So if you match your poem about Papa-pepper to those "beats" it will be fine.
Good luck!
