haiku – Now Smell This https://nstperfume.com a blog about perfume Sat, 16 May 2026 14:54:07 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 Lazy 3-day weekend poll ~ Haiku challenge 2026! https://nstperfume.com/2026/05/16/lazy-3-day-weekend-poll-haiku-challenge-2026/ https://nstperfume.com/2026/05/16/lazy-3-day-weekend-poll-haiku-challenge-2026/#comments Sat, 16 May 2026 14:54:07 +0000 https://nstperfume.com/?p=217223

This weekend, our seventeenth annual Haiku Challenge (if you like, you can check out past years for inspiration). We're also happy to include other forms of poetry if haiku don't inspire you. Have a perfume-related limerick or a sonnet you'd like to share? Please do.

If you're writing a haiku, pick a perfume or a perfume house (or really, anything related to perfume), and write a haiku about it. 

Use the simplified English form — your haiku should have three lines, the first line with five syllables, the second line with seven syllables and the third line with five syllables. You can put the perfume name in the title if that makes it easier, and at any rate, don’t stress over the rules of traditional haiku — this is just for fun.

Or, as always, just talk about something else...
