Please fill in this form
If you wish to sign up for
The Haiku Deathmatch

The rules are simple:
Each round is a best of three
between two poets

After combatants
Let loose their 5-7-5s
The audience vote

Best of three, meaning
Loss does not equal defeat
Like sun after rain

The first round? Freeform!
Bring your own finely crafted 
Haiku to the stage

The second round? Pair!
Read two Haiku back to back
Double your word’s space

The third round is themed!
Out of seven themes below
We will ask for three:

Seasons, Hope, Fire,
Sex, Geese, Green, and Aberdeen
Chosen at random

As each round begins
So prepare seven Haiku
Or take the gamble

The final round? Same
As the first, pure and simple
Write any Haiku

The winner receives
£57.50
Glory could be yours

You might be thinking
“Damn that’s a lot of Haiku”
And you are correct

So open mic slots
Are also available
To give all a break

From the sheer gauntlet
Of once innocent Haiku
Turned to a Deathmatch

Doors at six thirty
It all begins at seven 
Will we see you there?
