We had some really nice submissions last night for our #TwilightHaiku contest on Twitter where you can win official Eclipse merch like t-shirts and bookmarks. I originally thought only a handful of submissions would be sent, but I got many, all of them very good!
What is a Haiku?
Haiku is a Japanese form of poetry, it’s 3 line verse and it doesn’t have to ryme. The first line must have 5 syllables. The second line must have 7 syllables and the third line must have 5 syllables.
I asked users to send their Haikus. They could be funny, silly, sexy, serious, as long as they were Twilight related.
There is still time for you to join our contest. Read all the rules and information here. We’ll start re-tweeting new #TwilightHaikus tonight and tomorrow morning I’ll make the Day 2 post
.
Here are the #TwilightHaikus of Day 1 and the Twitter users who sumbitted them (many users sumbitted more than one Haiku).
