Cha'alt Ha'aiku - Contest

 

I was thinking about poetry on the way to drop my kids off at school this morning, and for whatever reason, haiku popped in my head.  

Why not a new form of haiku that conformed to sacred numbers in the Cha'alt mythos?  3 lines - 4 syllables, 3 syllables, and 7 syllables.  Of course, it only makes sense to use the Cha'altian spelling as the cherry on top - ha'aiku!

Since my latest book just came out, and the concept of taking something existing and warping it to serve your campaign setting needs is addressed in The Cha'alt Experience, I thought - why not make it a contest?  So, from now until Sunday afternoon you can submit a Cha'altian ha'aiku and the winner gets a free PDF of The Cha'alt Experience: Designing Worlds Like A Fucking Boss!  

It's right here if you want to check it out.

Already own it?  Well, feel free to pick out a different PDF - or get $20 off your VENGER CON III weekend badge (happening this July in Madison, WI).  But the winning submission will also get published (with full credit going to the author) in the next Cha'alt thing I self-publish.  

Where can you submit?  In a comment below, email (Venger.Satanis@yahoo.com), or on the vlog post to the video I just made.  I will read the winner (maybe a couple honorable mentions, as well) on Sunday evening's Inappropriate Characters stream on both Rumble and X (Twitter).

Looking forward to what you come up with, hoss!

  1. Eldritch dunes spread thighs,
    Black Pyramid's tits laid bare,
    Stars cry, night of sin.

    1. That's a traditional haiku... 5/7/5, but I like it.

  2. No water left
    My last day
    The sand will not remember

  5. The lone bastion,
    A'agrybah,
    Stands firm against the chaos.

  6. I don't seem to have David Brown's contact info, but he's the winner, and this was his submission...

    Atop the plateau
    Blood of ages
    Descending Crimson tor of death
