It’s summer, no really, it is, and to celebrate, we’re launching the Remedy Creative summer Haiku competition.

If there are any Haiku purists reading this post, now is the time to look away. And yes we know, the plural of Haiku is Haiku, but cut us some slack here.

There are different ideas for the structure of the perfect Haiku, but in this case, what we are looking for is a three line poem in a 5, 7, 5 syllable format. The theme has to be summer, and to show you what we mean, here’s one what we wrote earlier:

Asleep in garden
Forget to put on suncream
I look like lobster

All your Haiku needs to do is make us smile, giggle or go “wow” a little bit, to stand a chance of winning:
a one-off, money-can’t-buy, extra special prize – your Haiku as a stunning typographic poster –
designed and printed by Remedy and delivered with love (or in the post).

To enter, simply post your haiku as a comment below.
