We have a first winner! Congratulations Kevin C Marvin for his winning entry:
I can almost hear
the sound of packaging tape
as I win your phone
You win the Samsung the M520.
To recap: Every week we’ll be giving away a cool Samsung phone culminating in the Samsung Instinct!
We begin our contest this week gunning for the Samsung Ace. The haiku should focus on sight and must be tweeted to UseYourInstinct. We will close entries for this week at noon on Tuesday, July 22.
If you entered the previous contest and didn’t win, feel free to re-enter.
What is a haiku? Here’s an example. It’s a short poem of three lines consiting of 5 syllables, 7 syllables, and 5 syllables.
For example:
The M520
doesn’t ring. It reminds me
that I’m a big nerd.
Read on for the rules.
Contest Rules:
1) Write a haiku about the sense of touch, sight or hearing using the traditional 5 syllable/7 sylllable/5 syllable formatc
