McPalin Haiku Hysteria

People for American Way Haiku Contest;
winners to be published in The Nation

People For the American Way is looking for some
great haikus about John McCain and Sarah Palin!
Three winners will have their haikus published
in the Nation magazine. Other prizes will be
announced. Ten finalists will be chosen and
then the three winners will be voted on by you
and other People For the American Way
supporters.

Reminder: A haiku is an unrhymed verse/poetry
form of Japanese origin having three lines
containing usually five, seven and five
syllables respectively. Intended to convey a
vivid impression poetically in only seventeen
syllables, haikus have traditionally focused on
nature — but contest goal is to spread a very
important election year message:

Guidelines for Contest

* Entries must be submitted online, using
the form provided. (url below)
* Each contestant may submit up to three
entries.
* All valid entries must be received by
Sunday, October 12 at midnight.
* Haikus will be judged on the following
criteria:
o Connects Sarah Palin and/or John
McCain to the Far Right or to what’s at stake
this election, OR
o Makes the connection between the
2008 Election and the future of the Supreme
Court


The samples they give are
dreadful. You can do better!
