Hmmm… you do throw down a good challenge.

I must ponder this
A contest of creation
Can I write something?

Oh man. I suck at Haiku. At least I got til the 10th to think it up.

You are too kind! I will judge the heck out of this thing. Bring it on!

What fun! Here’s what we came up with:

Here is my attempt!

OK, here is my entry!

I have not forsaken your contest… I will be entering. The wheels are still turning… I have to get out of Limerick mode and into Haiku mode. I’m drinking green tea and raking zen swirls into the dirt in my backyard in preparation…

Oooh! Fun! I’m getting “write” on it!

Two more tries for me!!!
My brain is loving this!!

I posted an entry on my site, but I’m still new at this whole blogging thing and I couldn’t figure out how to put links in my post. Anyway, if it counts without the links please go over and check it out.

Because Jenn keeps talking about it, I’ll give it a whirl…

Fire dancing bright
Over rippling water
White, yellow, orange

Can I cancel that earlier one? Clearly I couldn’t figure out how many syllables is in “rippling”.

Fire dancing bright
Over rippling dark water
White, yellow, orange

Still the same link:

okay, this doesn’t fall into the profound category, but I never miss the chance to write a haiku, so here it is:

You’ve unleashed a serious illness among us…

I’ve got three more for you, and a story to make you laugh -

http://denyingsoccermom.blogspot.com/2007/08/so-i-was-discussing-haiku-with-train.html

(The title should read “So I was Discussing Haiku with the Train Conductor”)

Hurry line up one
through nine in boxes and rows
before my stop comes.

One day may we find
acceptance for all of us
With love, hope and peace.

Who knew a train fare
would lead to poetry talks
and lovers’ advice

Leslie–
Just look what you’ve started! hehe. you must be so proud.

Okay, I succumbed! I went hog wild and here’s my link:

Found this via Jen (one of the many). My entry is here:

http://writingwrongs.wordpress.com/2007/08/03/tech-writer-haiku/

This is an excellent idea–the submissions thus far have been great. I can’t wait to see who wins!

You should take a look at Haiku for You, I think you’d enjoy it!

A few to add to your collection of submissions:

Here are my three entries:

I have no blog, but I love Haiku:

I like Mommy blogs
I have no children myself
I find you Moms droll

Tick, tick time crawls by
Click, click I read blogs at work
I need invoices

Writing and watching
An attention span waning
Let us not kill time

Going home at last
First buy some rosemary bread
Oh and fresh sword fish

Ok I really am going to do those things…bye!

Dear Leslie, Just had to delurk and let you know that your contest is driving me crazy, and I haven’t even entered!! But Jenn-In-Holland, Soccer mom in Denial, and Jen (a2eatwrite) have been driving each other crazy with all of our comments to each other in Haiku!! So while I know mine aren’t good enough to enter, I did want you to know what you had started. Now I am even dreaming in Haiku. I thought I had gotten rid of this addiction a long time ago, but apparently it doesn’t take much to start up again. AAARRRGGGHH!!

Just wanted you to know that YOU are to blame!!

Oh, yes! Here come my entriessss:

Hey!
I love a good Haiku and try to write one (or 3!) every Friday for Haiku Friday. This weeks Haiku is here:

http://lisastirades.blogspot.com/2007/08/i-wonder-if-this-is-what-johnny-cash.html

I also have a little one for now that I’m not sure I want to post on my blog just in case I get harassed to share what secret I know!!

Didn’t want to know,
Doctor let baby’s sex slip,
Now my lips are sealed!!

Wahoo! Here I go!

http://coodence.blogspot.com/2007/08/haiku-unfackingbolievable-friday.html

The phone rings again
I jump up from the sofa
Telemarketer

My damn phone has not
Stopped ringing all afternoon
Should I unplug it?

this must be such fun
to see the entries fly in
haiku craziness!

WAY to go Leslie. What a blast.
(missed you)

I had to come back and say —- THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN! Even though I only entered one myself I had such a grand time reading everyone else’s and commenting (in haiku) along with so many others. You MUST make this an annual event!

Post your contest on MyBlogcontest.com let more people know about your contest!

Clouds
White and puffy balls
Moving quickly through the sky
White as fluffy fluff

weight loss stories using the acai berry

Nothing

Is that what life is
A competition for all
We are all the same
