Haiku Contest!
The
Illinois Heartland section of the American Chemical Society invites you

What’s
a haiku?
Haikus
are 3-lined poems often with a nature theme.
They
have 5 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second, and
5
in the third line.
Entries will be judged by the Illinois
Heartland Section of the
American
Chemical Society and prizes will be awarded to the winners
in
each grade category. In addition, the
first place winning haiku from
each
grade level will be sent to compete at the national level for a
chance
for more prizes!!
The haiku entered must follow some guidelines
in
order to be considered for our contest.
Entries not adhering
