Haiku In A Hurry
Event Description:
Haiku in a Hurry: In this solo event a student will receive 3 prompts through the chat, quickly select one and have five minutes in which to prepare and present a Haiku poem (3 Lines: 5 Syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables) inspired by the chosen “jump start.” Students may use a 3x5 index card to compose their poem and are required to read the "jumpstart" prompt as the poem's title when they deliver their Haiku. Judge will provide audible, verbal time signals while the student is composing their Haiku poem and visual signals once they begin to speak. Please note: In this category, it is vital to comment upon both the content and the delivery of the student’s Haiku poem.
Time limit: 5 minutes with a 30-second grace period including both the preparation and delivery, divided at the student's discretion. Judges must provide verbal and visual time signals.
