As last Thursday was St. Valentine's Day I think, and I hope you'll agree, that it's appropriate for us to have 'Love' as our theme for the week.

Submit your love themed poetry using the usual rules, two entries per member. You can submit old and new pieces but make sure they're your favourites. You don't have to submit 'happy' poetry; bitter and angry are more than welcome. All the conflicting emotions of love are relevant.



DEADLINE: Wednesday 27th February (UK time)

Firstly, I would like to welcome our newest member :iconblue-strawberry: to the group. Go check out her fantastic gallery!

And now for the theme...



Haiku is a traditional form of Japanese poetry. The poem consists of seventeen syllables split into three lines which consist of 5, 7, and 5 syllables. A haiku captures a fleeting images, a sense of beauty, sadness, or wonder.

This weeks challenge is to notice throughout the week momentary perceptions of beauty, gloom, and wonder, and to write a haiku or series of haiku describing your experiences.

Here are some translations of traditional Japanese haiku:

'the carpenter's saw
stops
at a small knot'

- Basho


'the theif
left it behind
the moon at the window'

- Basho


'the bushwood gate
and for a look
this snail'

- Basho



Here are some examples of haiku on DeviantArt:

The Guard by =Sorbe
In Love by ~vixensly
Trigger Assist by ~foxxkitten
Womb by ~milpalabras
Snow Kiss by =Greatest-Nightmare
After Birth by *Fairytale-Heart

An Apology:

On behalf of ~zeaphyra and myself, I would like to apologize to our contest entrants as I am canceling the 'Duality' contests winner position. *lmtcloud won by default as there were no comments or votes on the other piece. I am sure you will both understand.



A New System:

Last week you all should have received a note entitled 'Changes' detailing the alterations ~zeaphyra & I have made to the group, these include a new system for themes & contests, and a submitting system developed by ~zeaphyra who is now our submissions manager. Here is a copy of the note:

The main change is that we have decided to switch the time frame of themes and contest around. Themes will be weekly and contests monthly with three weeks for writing and one for judging. This will take effect from the 1st of December when we will announce a new contest and theme.

Our main reason for this change is that we've been noted a few times that our members don't always have enough time to participate in the contests. By lengthening the time frame we hope to give you more time to concentrate on the contests and therefore gain more participation.

For details of other changes please click the following links:

Rating & Commenting


I hope you'll all be happy with these changes as all we want is to improve all of our experiences at ~soul-perfume. A theme will be announced tomorrow (30th November) and will run for a week. The theme will be a relatively informal task as we can't expect anyone to submit polished pieces of work. Think of our themes as writing exercises designed to get your 'creative juices flowing'.

We hope you'll enjoy the changes we've made!
Please contact us with ideas, quieries e.t.c.

Thank yous, ~Fairytale-Heart & ~zeaphyra
