Haiku...
Hello,
Many haiku contests are based upon a kukai, or theme. For traditional haiku the kukai is usually a season based word. With spring just around the corner I will provide the contestants with a choice of two words that the Japanese associate with spring.
I basically outlined how I would be looking at the haiku, based upon Cor ven den Heuvel's definition published in the preface to his English language Haiku Anthology. Please note... a strict 5/7/5 English syllable count is not required, while I feel something shorter than the 5/7/5 is closer to the Japanese haiku, I will not count off on a 5/7/5 haiku if it is written well.

Freestyle Samurai #1
Pressed a cup
of priceless joy
from my heart
Spritzed some joy
on an armful
of tulips
White became
alabaster
red to fire
Before you
a sacrifice
please
please
please
Freestyle Samurai #2
Nothing to do with Spring…
It was my brother, who informed me,
Of the tulips resemblance,
To the intimate parts of a woman.
He took pride in telling me,
Of the Tulips phallicality,
As you prize apart the leaves,
And marvel at the treasure inside.
He spent an hour on the subject,
(Verbosity was his defect),
With Cliché and rhetoric,
Of the sweet nectar variety.
Content in his conceit,
Oblivious to my contempt,
His metaphor tainted the water clear,
Like the ink of Blake’s ‘Muses’.
Vicarious and Lurid,
He would tell me all he did,
Never having learned that,
A gentleman don’t kiss and tell.
(But that comes from a poet,
Who’s inked intimate memories and knows it.
But I think art should be allowed,
Double standards not accepted in life)
My brother shattered delusions,
Dreams I would rather have kept.
I should have stayed ignorant,
Systematically naive and innocent.
Maybe then I wouldn’t laugh at everything

What a tease! Come on, tale! LOL Let message number 75 be the results, dad gum it!
The poems were all excellent (I'm not talking about mine, either). Trent, you are definitely a formidable opponent!
Puts my stiletto back into its sheath. Well! I'm a girl. I'm not so sure I can wield a samurai sword.
