Haiku Contest
Today your task is simple. You are to write a haiku and then post it as a comment back to me. I’ll pick a winner and they shall receive the first ever “MANICDOTE HAIKU AWARD OF AWESOMENESS”. This doesn’t come with a gift because I’m broke, but it does come with bragging rights and a cool image that you can post on your blog, facebook account or you can always print it out and have it framed. Who knows what you want to do with it? I won’t judge you.
Now, in case you forgot how to write a haiku, here are the simple directions. It’s three lines, and the syllables have to be precisie. 5 syllables for the first line, 7 syllables on the second line and 5 again for the third and final line of the poem. Contest ends 3/13/08.
Here is a sample haiku:
Never seen so many
sunrises in my life; this
should mean something. Yes.
I am so tired.
Struggling to stay awake
thank god its friday!!
Ahh! How was that?? Love the award! What does it say?
We tried, but they were crap. so we will leave it to others to be great!
No we know you can do it!!! Write us something funny about Weeny and Daisy…!
It snowed six inches
Mandy and Tuffy went out
Where are my babies?
I think that’s the first one I ever wrote–can you tell? HAHA
Jacob is sleeping,
Willow is running about,
but I’m still working.
Jake and willow are my beagles
Had to lengthen Jake’s name to make it work
Snoring together,
Pugs are cuddling on the couch,
Our family; complete.
Great contest, this was fuN!
It’s snowing outside
I run and bounce gleefuly
Now my feet are cold
That was fun!
Shadows of felines
lounge on the sofa and bed
phantom comforters.
This isn’t a haiku! We’ve been away for a bit. So sorry to hear about Terry’s mother. Don’t worry about Rukia being small! Clover weighed only one lb when we brought her home at 7 weeks, and when she was 4 months old she still only weighed 5lbs. She is almost 10 months old now and weighs 11 lbs. Rukia will probably be small like Clover!
We have your pay-it-forward gift ready, can you please email your mailing address to: lovemrmunchy AT yahoo DOT com
Thanks!!
Jess & Clover
Rawhide, so tasty,
Its sweet scent beckoning me,
I think I’m in love
Ode to my Jumbone
I miss my Jumbone
With a sweet dark brown fillig
I ate it all up
