National Poetry Month Haiku Contest on Twitter

It’s National Poetry Month and, this year, we’re excited to celebrate with our community in an extra-special way – we’re holding a Haiku Contest on Twitter!

Here’s how to enter:

  1. Follow failbettercom on Twitter.
  2. Tweet @failbettercom a haiku, using the hashtag #failbetterhaiku by April 30 at 11:59pm ET.
  3. If you’re interested in checking out the other entries, search Twitter using the hashtag #failbetterhaiku

At the end of the month, we’ll pick our favorite haikus and publish them on our blog.

Allow me to steal from one of the masters to show you an example of how your entry should look:

maggieannglover: @failbettercom  An old silent pond / A frog jumps into the pond, / splash! Silence again. #failbetterhaiku

See how easy that is?

You have all month to enter but, since we’re okay with you submitting multiple entries, we recommend that you start tweeting as soon as the mood strikes you.

If you have any questions about the contest, feel free to email Maggie at mglover@failbetter.com .  We’re looking forward to reading your entries.
