It’s Tolkien Reading Day on March 25, 2014, and to celebrate, we’re holding a Tolkien-themed haiku contest. This is your chance to write a haiku on anything Tolkien – the Professor or his work – that inspires you. The contest starts today and will run until 23 March. The winner, which the Middle-earth News staff shall judge to have written the best haiku, will be announced on Tolkien Reading Day.

There are prizes, too! The winner and one runner-up will receive a prize donated by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt or Funko (details to be announced).

To enter, simply write your haiku in the comments box below. Remember, a haiku is five syllables, then seven, then five.

I’ll start.

Hobbit homes. Holes in
The ground, with architecture
That’s round – like a ring.

Your turn!

Share with your Fellowship!
