Calling All Poets! Any Age . . . Haiku You . . .
Got a yen to haiku?
As the weather chills, thoughts turn to the holidays. So the Contra Costa Times is going cold turkey for their next poetry contest. Pen a haiku, inspired by any aspect of Thanksgiving Day — the food, the pilgrims, the football or parade. Send your haiku — three lines in a 5-7-5 syllable pattern — to [email protected] by noon Oct. 26.

Do you have to live in Contra Costa County do send one?
Fatima – They called me back and said for you to ask your teacher to submit your contest entry for you. I’m sure your teacher would do it, because teachers are rewarded to do it. She said they’re trying to reward Public Art Education as much as possible. In addition, they want to make sure adults are have “okayed” the process. Go for it!
I couldn’t find anything about having to live in Contra Costa County. And in the past, people have listed their towns as Alameda and Berkeley. Those places aren’t in Contra Costa County. I think that the editors would be THRILLED to think someone was reading them online from other parts of the U.S.! GO FOR IT!!
Thank you! I appreciate that a lot.
