National Haiku Poetry Day is observed annually on April 17th. This year, in honor of National Haiku Poetry Day, Magic Wand is inviting friends and fans to submit their most inspirational haiku for a chance to win a Magic Wand Original.
Haiku is a type of short form poetry originally from Japan. Haiku often consist of non-rhyming phrases rendered in a 5-7-5 syllable pattern over three lines. Haiku poems can be inspired by an element of nature, a season, a moment of beauty, or an individual experience or event. National Haiku Poetry Day encourages everyone to try this creative form of expression!
Check out Magic Wand’s Instagram post about National Haiku Poetry Day here. To enter, poets can simply put their haiku in the comments. One winner will be selected, with the winning haiku announced on April 17th (also via Instagram).
“Haikus are a great embodiment of Magic Wand — accessible and diverse, with a rich history. We are excited to see how creative people can get,” said Vibratex owner and Vice President Shay Martin.
Martin noted that, in order to enter the contest, “A haiku does not have to be about Magic Wand per se, though we can’t think of a better inspirational ‘moment of beauty’ than those brought about by a true Magic Wand!”
Submissions can be made via @truemagicwand. One entry per person. Must be over the age of 18 and in the United States or Canada to win.
