First two lines of the haiku, written by @GavrielK & @MartinRandall

Resources are few

The unborn await their dawn

Background

This is an experiment to see if we can use a prediction market to compose a haiku about (some aspect) of EA.

A haiku is a poem of 3 lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables each. The subject matter is effective altruism. Interpret that as broadly as you like.

Users will submit suggestions for each line of the haiku, and I will try to find a random person at EAG SF to select the specific line by the end of the day. (Failing that, I will select the line myself.) Users who predicted and bet on the chosen line will win big!

This is a market on the third and final line of the haiku.

The complete haiku

I ended up judging. Congrats to @GavrielK again for her winning line!
