The First Annual International Championship of

Pieku Poetry

Fancy yourself a poet with a fondness for the taste of pie?  Well, be among the first to compete in this original poetry competition.  Whether you are a novice or a professional when it comes to writing poetry, you are invited to send us your submission of original pieku. 

What is pieku?  Pieku is a special kind of poem written specifically about the most delicious dessert ever tasted by the human tongue--homemade pie.  All poems must be about pie--any kind of pie, be it fruit, mincemeat, cream, or mathematical--but all poems must be in the traditional three-line, 17-syllable form of a haiku (five syllables for the first line, seven for the second, and five for the third).  That’s why we call it pieku.  It is haiku about pie.  All entries must be received by September 1, 2008.  Entry is FREE.  All it costs you is the time to use your creative imagination. Winning entries will be featured on a future production of A River & Sound Review.

Already inspired?  Use the space below to write your own pieku.
