[01.05] CABALSEA 'Mother's Day Haiku Forum Contest'

Dear Cabalists,

With Mother’s Day around the corner, many of us are still wondering how best to express our thanks to our Mothers for their love and care.

Why not show your appreciation by writing a haiku? After all, the best gifts are not always the ones that are bought.

…wait, what’s a haiku? If you have no idea, don’t worry. A haiku is
basically a form of poetry that consists of 17 syllables that divided
in 3 lines. The first line is formed by 5 syllables, the second line is
formed by 7 syllables and the last line, 5 syllables. An example of a
haiku is shown below

Our dearest Mother (5 syllables)
Thank you for your care and love (7 syllables)
Love you forever (5 syllables)

So start getting inspired and writing haikus now! We will even send a send a bouquet of flowers to accompany the most touching entry for the lucky mummy!
