Hookah Haiku Contest

EDIT (1/23): We've announced the winner! Watch the video at the bottom of the page to see who we've crowned the Hookah Haiku King/Queen!

 

We're getting back to our roots with a good old fashion Hookah Haiku Contest! This was the first contest that we ever hosted, and it's time to bring it full circle. We want you to write us a haiku about hookah life, post it in the comment section of this blog, and you'll be eligible to win a free, one of a kind hookah!

RULES:

1) Submission must be a haiku! What is a haiku? It's a Japanese poem of seventeen syllables, in three lines of five, seven, and five. It would look something like this:

I smoke the shisha

The shisha doesn't smoke me

Now I need a nap

2) You can submit as many as you would like.

3) You must submit your haiku in the comment section of this blog.

4) All submissions must be received by January 16, 2013. We will choose the top ten poems, and the winner will be randomly selected from those 10 by way of a drawing.

 

Want a sneak peek at the prize? It's a Regal Queen Hookah, which is not even in production any longer! The unique wooden shaft is highly coveted among hookah lovers - and it can be yours with some simple wordsmithery!

Good luck to all! Please feel free to email us at hookahlove@hookah-shisha.com if you have any questions.
