OK...I'm quick to admit I do not know the technicalities of writing style(s), but I did figure out the 5 - 7 - 5 thing with haikus and have seen some rater creative writing(s) in that format ... better than just rhyming for rhyming sake. Thus ... why / what is the problem with haikus...??![]()
Haiku are a deliberately short poetry format. Effectively just small expressions about a quirky observation or some other event. Being that they lack any significant substance as a piece of literature, it has been decided that we will not be publishing them.
If we did, there would undoubtedly be a deluge of submissions from authors. They would flood the story queue and the front page day after day, simply by the fact that they are quick and easy to write. This would have a number of knock-on effects which would hinder the moderators from processing the other story submissions.

Just remember your sad poems and any rejected poems can always be put on Lush's non-erotic site.

A lot of the same members that are here are also over there. Just a thought.

It is worth pointing out that not all submissions that are rejected by Lush will necessarily be approved by the SS site. They too have quality standards and their own team of verifiers. If your poem was rejected on quality grounds here, then more than likely you will have the same response by the SS mod team.
