Sirius HookahIt's Saturday, again you're expecting a links round-up and again we have a contest for you. This time, it can be organized thanks to our friend Nima who runs BuyHookah.com, one of the leading hookah retailers on the Internet. As you can guess, the prize for this contest is a hookah pictured to the right (product link), it comes with tobacco and everything you need to get started.

I was looking for an interesting contest idea and suddenly though about haiku, those short Japanese poems. Haiku and hookah sound close and I decided to make a link between those two terms. If you don't know what a haiku is, Wikipedia is your friend.

Here are a few examples of famous haikus:

An old silent pond...
A frog jumps into the pond,
splash! Silence again.
Basho

Over the wintry
forest, winds howl in rage
with no leaves to blow.
Soseki

As you probably already understood, your job for the contest is to write a haiku. It can be about hookah, cigars, smoking or even a general subject. Simply post your haiku in the comments area below to enter the contest. In one week, we'll select the one we like the most and announce the winner on this blog. Also, if you are interested in hookahs, feel free to sign up for BuyHookah's newsletter:

Please note you need to be of legal age to smoke in order to participate. Contest open internationally.

Good luck!
