Warded Wednesday: Demon Cycle Haiku!

Posted by Karen

Hey everyone! A few years ago, Peat held a Daylight War Haiku Contest. The contest turned out some really awesome responses and I’m bummed to have missed it. I figure it’s about time to give it another shot, don’t you?

This week, there’s no question. Instead, we’re asking you to create a Haiku (three lines, 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively) based on the Demon Cycle.

These Haiku can be serious, funny, whimsical, scary, whatever. You can submit more than one. This is a pretty low bar of entry, so have fun with it!

The prize for this giveaway is a UK-edition Skull Throne paperback!

The Skull Throne is the latest book in the Demon Cycle series. If you’d like a copy signed by Peat himself, go ahead and enter.

Remember, we can only pick your comment if you respond to our post on the blog. We’re looking forward to your answers.

Giveaway answers will be accepted until Monday. The winner will be announced Tuesday.

You can get your copy of The Desert Spear here!

    She lays him down on his back
    Soon a heart attack

    Darkness upon him
    Light ahead, there is hope.
    Only twin embers

  3. Swooping, deadly, low
    The Wind Demon circles
    Diving, shrieking, kills.

    I’ve never been good at writing Haiku, as is evident above ?
