Hello dear dreamers of Goodreads!

I am here to deliver a special contest just for you.

I know that Goodreads is all about reading so let's write a little. I want you to write me a haiku about either dream spinners or male romance. Now, the haiku doesn't have to follow the strict rules of haiku, the idea is to write a creative short poem about those two words.

If you don't know what a haiku is, here is more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku_in...

This contest is open until tomorrow Thursday 6PM EST. The winners will be chosen by their creativity, beauty or comic sense. How many winners depend on what the jury likes and the jury is our editorial department, so make sure to spell correctly :P !

The winner will get their choice of a DSP eBook.

Leave your haiku as a comment to this post.

Good luck!

Julyssa

Try it! It doesn't have to be all that serious.

KimE (kimwhaley) | 11 comments I assume we post here. This is where I'm in my element. :)

Together with love
Dreams spinners and male romance
Let the wonders shine


It's supposed to be centered but not a way to do that in Goodreads...errg...i wish there were more html I can do, like a center tag. (Says the frustrated former HTML programmer.)


message 8: by Amy C. (new)

Amy C. Do we post our haiku here?


message 9: by Amy C. (new)

Amy C. Umm okay here it goes...

I love sexy men
I love sexy man on man
I watch them shower

Haha I'm so bad at this!

Yay!!! It rhymes!!


message 15: by [deleted user] (new)

Male romance by dream spinners:
A hot cup of tea and a blanket
In front of the fire

Well, it's not a strict haiku, but it pretends to be ;)

Skylar Jaye (skylarjaye) | 1 comments Hmm, I'll give this a shot:

Nothing's quite as good
As sexy men making sweet love
Across your book page.

In May, spiders play
At night - dream of my man, away,
Spin web on skin.

message 28: by Sara (new)

Sara | 3 comments I'll give it a try, though I'm not a native speaker so bare with me:

Fighting kids, messy house -
Sweet romance, wild, hot sex, men
Lose myself in dreams

(No matter how I've tried I just can't make it work with only five syllables in the first line.)


message 29: by Mel (new)

Mel (melleach) The dreamspinner spins
Two men hypnotized
They embrace and kiss

blub | 11 comments I wrote two with a syllable count between 10-17. I hope that's okay?

Dreamspinners Press
Capturing hearts
Art full of love


Majestic acts of love.
Spun from all around.
Calling all Dream Spinners.

EDIT.
Just thought of another...this doesn't have to count just wanted to share it anyway.

Spinning tales of male love
we are the dreamspinners
seducing you with fiction.

message 42: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (thestarfly) | 27 comments I thought of another one

Tales with stories of sweet men;
Cowboys, Sci-fi, S&M;
Happy endings follow them.


It's not quite a traditional "haiku", but it is a short poem.
