Celebrate National Punctuation Day

September marks National Punctuation Day in the United States, and event organizer Jeff Rubin invites people to participate in a National Punctuation Day Haiku Contest, with the winners receiving "a plethora of punctuation goodies." Send your best 5-7-5 (syllables, that is) poetry to Jeff@NationalPunctuationDay.com, and let the literary games begin! Haikus must be received by September 30 to be considered for prizes.

To see some great examples of punctuation haikus or to learn more about National Punctuation Day, visit the event website.
