We’ve received nearly a dozen entries so far, most via the initial blog announcement of the Erisian Haiku Contest, and a few by e-mail.
The entries that we’ve received so far have been great – quite a few people favour a five stanza haiku format in honour of Eris’s affection for the number.
Check out the entries submitted so far, and if you’ve not yet sent in yours there’s still time submit your own entry.
For full contest details see the original post: [cref 174]!
Contest closes on Eris Day on Friday, May 23rd – only one week left to get your entry in!
