Anyway, 30 haiku in 30 days, I thought, was a mountain too high. But it turned out to be a journey I had enjoyed. Because along the way, I met many wonderful and talented poets, enjoyed their works and received their encouragement and compliments, there is only one way, and that is to finish the challenge. Thanks, Leo, for this journey!<br /><br />And one more thing. Do you guys like the little badge I generated for this challenge?</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xGM12o4MhmU/TlJGQHM-OWI/AAAAAAAAAtI/jQ9HaFq6yGg/s1600/warningsign_HaikuChallenge.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xGM12o4MhmU/TlJGQHM-OWI/AAAAAAAAAtI/jQ9HaFq6yGg/s1600/warningsign_HaikuChallenge.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: courier new; font-size: 120%;">write </span> <br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;">the pond<br />still in the middle of the night-<br /><br />a ripple arcs to shore.<br /><br /><br />30/09/2011<br />**********<br /><br /></span><br /><hr color="teal" /><span style="font-family: arial;">and here are my personal favourites that I have written for this exercise :<br /><br />Day 2 - <a href="http://dsnake6.blogspot.com/2011/09/height-of-haiku-challenge-day-2.html" target="_blank">mirror</a><br /><br />Day 5 - <a href="http://dsnake6.blogspot.com/2011/09/height-of-haiku-challenge-day-5.html" target="_blank">flourish</a><br /><br />Day 6 - <a href="http://dsnake6.blogspot.com/2011/09/height-of-haiku-challenge-day-6.html" target="_blank">kiss</a><br /><br />Day 9 - <a href="http://dsnake6.blogspot.com/2011/09/height-of-haiku-challenge-day-9.html" target="_blank">yearn</a><br /><br />Day 12 - <a href="http://dsnake6.blogspot.com/2011/09/height-of-haiku-challenge-day-12.html" target="_blank">moon</a><br /><br />Day 18 - <a href="http://dsnake6.blogspot.com/2011/09/height-of-haiku-challenge-day-18.html" target="_blank">home</a><br /><br />Day 23 - <a href="http://dsnake6.blogspot.com/2011/09/height-of-haiku-challenge-day-23.html" target="_blank">water</a><br /><br />Day 25 - <a href="http://dsnake6.blogspot.com/2011/09/height-of-haiku-challenge-day-25.html" target="_blank">cold</a><br /><br />Day 28 - <a href="http://dsnake6.blogspot.com/2011/09/height-of-haiku-challenge-day-28.html" target="_blank">charm</a><br /><br />Day 30 - geylang<br /><br /></span> <br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">© </span> cheong lee san ( dsnake1 ), 2011</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2225641449722557011-5889882637773010091?l=dsnake6.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>http://dsnake6.blogspot.com/2011/10/height-of-haiku-challenge-conclusion.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (dsnake1)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2225641449722557011.post-2626319353356853755Fri, 30 Sep 2011 14:00:00 +00002011-09-30T22:04:37.901+08:00challengeHaiku HeightshaikulandscapeSingapore<span style="color: #2e2e2e; font-family: verdana; font-size: 180%;">Today's Theme : <span style="color: #ff8000;">Geylang</span> </span> <br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">lonely planet tour...</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9xpCVhxZglo/TnNhcw4qj_I/AAAAAAAAAuI/NgKjdyPyTwc/s1600/morguefile_ppdigital_redlight.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9xpCVhxZglo/TnNhcw4qj_I/AAAAAAAAAuI/NgKjdyPyTwc/s320/morguefile_ppdigital_redlight.jpg" width="320" /></a><br /><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i><span style="font-size: small;">photo by ppdigital</span></i></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i><span style="font-size: small;">image from morguefile.com</span></i></div><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: courier new; font-size: 120%;">geylang </span> <br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;">i)<br /><br />drive by.<br /><br />sparks scatter on sidewalk<br />from a tossed cigarette.<br /><br /><br />ii)<br /><br />outside a bar<br />strobe lights of a police car.<br /><br />glass shards on asphalt.<br /><br /><br />iii)<br /><br />a wash of pink neon <br /><br />the wrinkles on the hooker's face<br />smoothened.<br /><br /><br /><br />30/09/2011<br />**********<br /><br /><br /></span> <br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geylang" target="_blank">Geylang</a> is a place throbbing with life after dark.
