10 Sustainable Haikus, 10 tshirts competition

Thanks for checking back, we really appreciate it.

We’re giving away 10 tshirts to 10 people who come up with a super haiku.

Here are the rules.

The Haiku must contain a reference to winter (or summer, autumn, spring), snow, powder, snowboarding or skiing.
The progression must be according to traditional Haiku, with the first line containing 5 syllables, the second 7 and the third 5.

Haiku (俳句 ,haikai verse?) Haiku.ogg listen (help·info), plural haiku, is a form of Japanese poetry, consisting of 17 morae (or on), in three metrical phrases of 5, 7 and 5 morae respectively[1]. Haiku typically contain a kigo, or seasonal reference, and a kireji or verbal caesura. In Japanese, haiku are traditionally printed in a single vertical line, while haiku in English usually appear in three lines, to parallel the three metrical phrases of Japanese haiku[2]. Previously called hokku, haiku was given its current name by the Japanese writer Masaoka Shiki at the end of the 19th century.

The winners will get their Haiku printed on a special edition tshirt and receive that tee.

Submit your Haikus in the comments below. Competition is open for 1 month from April 1 (this is not an April Fools Joke).

Here are two to get you started.

Softly, goes my hand
Behind it, lies great will,
We’ll save our winter

Killing winter with
Your denialism, I
Must stop this murder.
