You Go Back, Jack. Do It Again.
by Leslie
Yeah, I’m talking about The Haiku Buckaroo Contest, Steely Dan.
Remember how much fun we had last time? And an equally important link here, too?
It’s almost time to do it all again. But bigger! And better!
How will it be bigger and better, you ask?
Well, there is going to be more than one winner. That means there will be more than one prize. And, there’s going to be voting! Yeehaw!
So, put on your haiku hats. Start chanting your 5-7-5 mantra. And give me some suggestions for prize-winning categories, why don’t ya? For example: Funniest Haiku. Best Haiku About Robots. You know, whatever your brain likes. Share it with me in comments or via e-mail (admin at mymommysplace.com). If your ideas don’t suck, I’ll probably use some of them. Or a lot of them. It all depends on the prizes…
Yeah, prizes! Want a little publicity? Become a Haiku Buckaroo Contest Sponsor and offer a prize! As a sponsor, you’ll get some linky love from me and a warm feeling in your heart. And everyone will know that you are nice. If you’re awesome enough to want to kick in, just e-mail me (admin at mymommysplace.com) and let me know what you’d like to offer, along with a link I can send my love to throughout the contest. Keep in mind, cool kids live all over the world, so your prize must be able to get to where they are. If you have a question or limitation in regard to international shipping, let me know when you e-mail me.
I’ll be accepting category suggestions and prize submissions until Friday, Febuary 1st.
Just seventeen syllables
And it could be you.

Ooooooh. Aaaaah.
I’m thinking tear jerker — giggle starter — stuff like that.
I’ve written a lot of poetry but never Haiku so this should be fun.
(((HUGS)))
I am so bad at haikus. I might have a think about it though K?
Yea!! I was just thinking this morning about the last time and wondering when you were going to do another one. I’ll be a sponser but I’ll have to think of something first.
Yay! I am so sad I was at the internetless in-laws for the last one. But now I can participate! Can I compete and sponsor too? I can sponsor (er, you know where to link to, right?) , I have got some great books to pass on (I’ll have to get back to you on which ones).
Category Ideas - Best Haiku about diapers, Best Haiku about pregnancy, best haiku about sex, best haiku about toes, best haiku about Project Runway, best haiku about New Jersey, most disgusting haiku, best haiku about grammar, funniest haiku about giving birth, dirtiest haiku about Dora the Explorer, . . .is my cough medication making me loopy? Going to stop typing now.
Yay, Leslie! Even if I’m stinko at Haiku, I’ll have great stuff to read! I’m glad you’re doing this again. I’ll be thinking on categories and prizes.
I know you haven’t asked yet, but, just in case, knowing how successful this contest was last time, I respectfully must decline any possible offer to judge again. My weekends are (SERIUOSLY!) taken up until April. It’s crazy, but it’s all fun stuff which you will, no doubt, be reading about. I’ll miss not seeing all the entries, but I can’t wait to read the winners!
EWWW!! I’m so excited! I can’t wait for the contest to start!
You can count me in
To help with picking who’ll win.
Let haikus begin!
Uh, yeah, thanks for the reminder that Jami totally rocks at this.
Can there be a category for best haiku in the comment section of the post where the new haiku buckaroo contest was announced? Because, yeah, Jami wins that one too.
I should very much like to sponsor please. I shall send chocolate. Jerseygirl should totally be the category creator. Those are fab ideas. Ab fab.
This is gonna be fun!!
Jami is judging? The rest of us have a chance! Yeah! I mean, boo-hoo we won’t be graced with her stunning 5-7-5s that blow us peons out of the water.
Possible “Best Haikus about” kids, babies, work, cleaning the house, driving in traffic, jobs, reading, photos, movies, politics, romance, drudgery, or erotic conversations about haikus with train conductors (wait, I already wrote that one).
Now, if I sponsor and offer a prize, can I still be in the running? Not that I would attempt to bribe the judges or anything…
I’m sooo excited. Going to work on my haikus NOW
Hey Darlin’, this is my Leslie day so this is the first of numerous comments I have to catch up on with you!! My suggestion for a Haiku category is (of course) the “Best Science/Math Haiku”. I even offer to judge this category, which automatically puts me out of the running, but I’ll make it up in other categories. How about a category on “Haikus that make you Snort Laughing” or “Haikus that you can’t get out of your head”!!
Oh, gal, you are a glutton for punishment. BTW, be sure and re-run the “Singing Haiku” ad for all those unfortunate noobies who missed it!!
I will take part! I will post my first haiku with a link back to you sometime in the near future. Ideas for categories: Family, Humor, Nature, Spirituality/Religion. Cool beans!
Haiku Contest Open!
