EYElympics: Haiku Competition

During a crossing, there's plenty of time available to be creative. Thus, we took advantage of our trip from Cartagena to the San Blas Islands for our next EYElympics event: The Haiku Competition!

Much like figure skating, this event requires, grace, poise, and stamina - and it's also a judged event! Here are the rules:

Each crewmember is required to come up with a poem that fits the haiku format (5-7-5 syllables). They will be anonymously posted on the website, and then YOU, the followers of EYE of the World, need to vote for the best one.

Send an e-mail to crew@eyeotw.org with your vote (limit one vote per person). Judging will be open for three days, and the results will be announced on www.eyeotw.org.

Here are the poems:

1) Cold, sweet, can't be beat
When our lips meet, you just melt
See you soon ice cream.


2) One, vast horizon
Songs and stars call young sailors
Landfall comes too soon.


3) Dreams of ice cream cakes
Replaced by salty foulies
It's my turn for watch.


Send in your votes now!!!
