    Happy March everyone! Are you ready for a new journaling challenge! This month, I want you to include an original HAIKU on your page! This can be the only journaling you have - or you can add additional journaling if you want.

    If you need a refresher on Haikus - here's a link to the wikipedia article. A short and sweet "definition" that I remember from school is that a haiku is a three line poem with 5 syllables in line one, 7 syllables in line two, and 5 syllables in line three.

    Here's a page I did for this challenge (excuse the typo - i just saw it!):

    I can't wait to see what you come up with!!

    And, of course, the challenge rules: Your page must contain at least 75% of Lilypad product. You should post your layout in this thread, as well as in the March Challenge Layouts thread so it can be tracked! And of course, your page should be posted in the Lilypad Gallery so we can leave lots of love!

    The Lilypad uses a percent system for our challenges; the number of challenges you participate in determines the store discount you will receive at the end of the month:

    2 challenges = 10% off
    4 challenges = 20% off
    6 challenges = 30% off

    If you complete all 7 challenges, you will receive a coupon for 30% off, plus you will be entered to win a guest spot on the Lilypad Creative Team! The first six challenges will be posted on the first of the month; the seventh challenge is the BYOC challenge, which is posted on BYOC release day. Each page counts for one challenge (you cannot use one layout for multiple challenges).

    OMG... I'm so excited! :D I love Haiku (as long as it doesn't have to be stuffy/traditional). I had one published in USA Today once. :) Yes, I'm a dork.

    mmmm...right so, I'll give it my best go...but (though I worked for years as a government interpreter here) I never went to an English class in my entire life, so I'm not sure if what you call sylables is the same 'm thinking?
    is that the amount of blocks in which the sound of the word is devided?
    I'll need to consult with Sarita...and she is gonna laugh...so, not looking forward to it LOL

    yes - that's it's exactly cynthia :) and i think haiku originally came from japan - so the "english" version is probably not exactly what they do anyway :) as long as you have something similar you are good to go :)
